At virtual box main window go to:

File -> Preferences -> input -> Virtualbox manager.
Uncheck the "auto Capture keyboard" checkbox.
Tested on gnome 3.22 / Debian 9.
I can confirm this worked for me. I'm using Manjaro/Arch and I have custom xbindkeys configuration enabled. Thanks!

Re: Unable to move or resize guest Window

I have same problem in Ubuntu Gnome, but I switched to scaled mode (<host>+c) so this fix is it partially if no menus needed.

It seems that window manager decoration dissappear if guest size is same as host's size.

So I did put my guest resolution to lower from vbox menu: View -> Virtual screen1 -> some lower size

and wm decorations are there again.
