This is a known bug filed as #17168: VB display frame and content are no longer bound in High Sierra (osx 10.13). The ticket lists some workarounds you should try.

Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

Just wanted to report that I see the same bug with Linux Mint installed into a VM.
Fixed with disabling 3D acceleration (other fixes described above work as well).

But, my Windows 10 VM behaves correctly, without the bug.

Mac OS 10.13.4
VirtualBox Version 5.2.10 r122088 (Qt5.6.3)
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.10.vbox-extpack 5.2.10r122088
linuxmint-18.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso
Operating System: Ubuntu 64-bit
2GB RAM /128MB VRAM

Even when 3D is on? And the Guest Additions installed? Can you double-check?

It's not that I don't want to see this bug gone, au contraire! It's simply weird why it would go away for one type of a VM only...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

whoops, you're right.
resizing the window is ok.
moving the window is not, whether it's Windows 10 or Linux
I usually use the window at full size without going to full-screen (double-clicking on the window title-bar) and it always looked ok doing that.

i'm on a mac and a couple workarounds seemed to work for me:
1. increase ram to 8gb
2. not sure why this works but it does (make sure you don't have a guest image cd before doing this).
go to Devices | Install Guest Addisons CD Image ...
you should get an error message: unable to insert the virtual optical disk ...
then the screen will snap back into position and be tied to the title bar from that point on...until the next reboot.
