VirtualBox won't capture mouse input

I agree that I have searched opened and closed issues to prevent duplicates.

Description

Running the EFI livedisk ISO in VirtualBox and it won't capture mouse movement after I login. Keyboard input works fine.

Environment info

Redox OS Release: 0.5.0

VirtualBox: 6.0.12

Steps to reproduce

Turn on EFI support
Boot EFI Livedisk

Behavior

Expected behavior: I expected the mouse movements to be captured from the host, just like with keyboard input.

Actual behavior: The mouse does not capture and is stuck in the top-left corner of the VM.

Proposed solution: Support mouse capture (VirtualBox says the VM already supports mouse capture)
