So did the guest additions install when you told it to proceed?
Usually it opens a terminal and asks for your password.

If the guest additions installed you just need to close this window. Can you use the toggle (host+f) to go in and out of full screen now? Have you rebooted the guest since you installed the guest additions?

This solved my problem as well.
