Hello,
This affects me too. This is happening on both Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 with the default virtualbox package installed from Software Center. I have reported the same on Bug # 1574411, but that seems to be a duplicate of this bug.

Please help. Thank you.

Below is the info on Ubuntu 16.04
