You are describing a guest app feature, i.e. how it interprets a certain combination of inputs. I suggest you look to the guest app to explain why it doesn't do as you expect.

The only time this could be laid at the VirtualBox door is if VBox somehow was not passing along mouse clicks combined with keyboard presses to the VM, and I'm quite sure that is not the case. I don't see how the screen mode can be relevant to mouse or keyboard events.
