Virtualbox Wayland fullscreen issue

When using Virtualbox on Wayland (tested KDE and GNOME) and entering fullscreen mode the cursor no longer works in the ENTIRE Virtualbox window, cant even interact with the options bar at the top.

I have tested

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

but it doesnt help.

Any advice? (And Yes i know about qemu/Virt-Manager, i need to use VB)

Saw this in a youtube video about Hyprland, you can edit it for kde, gnome etc ...

I don't know if you still need the answer but I've had the same issue now. It seems that disabling "Mini Toolbar" in "User Interface" settings tab fixes the issue.
