Bug Description

I run Ubuntu Studio 18.04 in VirtualBox VM.
I did a upgrade to 19.10 and then to 20.04 (development)
VirtualBox guest additions were installed via apt.

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch)
Release: 20.04

2)
virtualbox-guest-x11:
  Installed: 6.1.4-dfsg-2
  Candidate: 6.1.4-dfsg-2
  Version table:
 *** 6.1.4-dfsg-2 500
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/multiverse amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

virtualbox-guest-dkms:
  Installed: 6.1.4-dfsg-2
  Candidate: 6.1.4-dfsg-2
  Version table:
 *** 6.1.4-dfsg-2 500
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/multiverse amd64 Packages
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/multiverse i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What I expect:
Copy-and-paste to work as before on 18.04.

4) What happened instead:
It does not work. Even after purging and reinstalling it with apt.

Related error messages on first reboot:
"VBoxCliebt crashed with SIGSEGV in XQueryExtension()"

and in /var/log:
ERROR: apport (pid 1626) Wed Apr 8 16:33:04 2020: executable: /usr/bin/VBoxClient (command line "/usr/bin/VBoxClient --vmsvga-x11")
