Minecraft Mouse Issues (disappearing cursor; invisible pointer)

Description
Ubuntu host (and lots of others too); XP-x86 guest; Java version does not matter, nor does the version of the game. The issue seems widespread and recognized at large.
[What is Normal] Moving around using the mouse, as with lots of other first-person games, movements are way off whenever mouse integration is enabled. To solve this, HostKey+I has to be pressed in order for it to be disabled.
[What is the problem] However, deactivating mouse integration makes the game playable, up to the point where menus (an integral part of the game) are accessed, at which point there is no crosshair, although a mouse pointer is lacking.
In other words, one has, often several times per minute, to toggle mouse integration on and off, in order for crafting (an integral part of the game) to be performed.
Besides that, the game works fine. LAN servers are ran over here without any problems either. Great frame rate; great experience, besides the irritating (and most-frequent) need to toggle mouse integration.
Mouse-pointer options (such as enabling trails or showing pointer location pressing ctrl) have been tried but have not been of any help, as there are absolutely no sings of the mouse pointer inside menus.

A workaround is posted here http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1829190-151152-coremod-to-play-minecraft-on-virtualbox/.
Requires Minecraft Forge and a bit of moving / copying of files, though.

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.

I have had the same problem before and I've updated my OS version and it is working fine for me now.
I'm also using Clicks Per Second to solve all my Minecraft mouse-related problems. This helped me to check whether my mouse has high CPS or not.
Thanks!
