Turn off the USB filter you enabled in the guest, or at the very least edit it to ensure that it doesn't hook the host OS's mouse.

I assume hitting the "capture" key doesn't do anything?

Re: Mouse on OSX Host freezed when starting guest
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:
I would also like to see the "recipe" of the VM, the ".vbox" file:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe or recreate the problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.
I would also like to see the "recipe" of the VM, the ".vbox" file:
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager. Select "Show in Finder/Explorer/Whatever".
- ZIP the selected ".vbox" file and attach it to your response.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
