I apologize if this is a redundant question, but I have tried various suggested solution to increase the guest screen size with no luck. Here is my environment:

I have attached the VM log file. Other vbox guest addtion functions are working (share mouse, clipboard, etc.). Any guidance on this issue is appreciated,
Thanks!

That's all? No logs, no error messages, nothing? Just... pfftttt?

Hit with this too on Windows 10 host. Tried 5.2.23, 6.0 Beta, all had issues.
Went back to 5.2.22, downloaded VBoxGuestAdditions_5.2.23-126769. After starting the CentOS 7.6 vm, unmounted 5.2.22 version of guest additions and mounted VBoxGuestAdditions_5.2.23-126769
All good.
Oops Centos 7.6 will work with 5.2.22, meant RHEL 7.6 here, not sure what the difference between the two CentOS is suppose to be RHEL 7.6

Well not quite as good as mentioned. There seems to be issues with some mouse functions such that they work on the initial render of a window but that widow has to be closed in order for the mouse to work elsewhere. Sorry for the mislead.
The problem arose because 1) you posted in the "Windows Hosts" section not in the "Linux Guests" section (that's where you're having the problem), and 2) I didn't move it in time. Moving it now...
PS. Funny thing? I got bitten by that too, should have noticed it earlier...

Oh "good"! Then you can give the patched kernel a try.
@Chuckles, as posted in the thread referenced by socratis, I have built a test kernel that has a fix (patch candidate) for the mouse issue here. More testers, the better.

Sure thing. If you promise to finish the Greek translation for VirtualBox, why not? We're in RC1 and I'm at 2218 out of 2527 (or 309) strings behind. If you promise to take over that, I'll test your patches
