Do you have multiple pointing devices attached? Like a second mouse, a touchpad, trackpoint, etc... Then a mouse operation started on one can block button operations on the other.

Ctrl-s is pretty universal to save in both windows and linux apps.

Thanks, Matthew.

Yes, the mouse was working properly, but suddenly it stopped working fine.

The application where the file is open is MS Word.

My idea was to send a command to VirtualBox to save the state and then
poweroff the guest virtual machine. I have tried

VManage controlvm "my machine name" savestate

but, surprisingly, it says that there is no virtual machine running...
