What happened?

The words and buttons and letters are jumping on my guest when I hover them with mouse or during typing. I tried to fix this with changing distributions, setting different resolutions and highDPIs, but it does is not help. How can I fix this? It is very annoying. This is not happening when the host is Mac, only on Linux host.

How can we reproduce this?

Install Virtualbox with guest additions.
