I've got Oracle VirtualBox 4.2.10 installed on Ubuntu 12.04, and with evry virtual machine I create, the "host key", which is supposed to release the mouse doesn't do anything. I've already installed the Guest Additions Expansion Pack (or whatever it's called,) and that didn't fix it. What else should I try?
P.S., not a duplicate of Right Ctrl release does not work – that one is in Windows 7, this one is in Ubuntu 12.04. The answer to that one is inapplicable to this one.

to return ownership of keyboard and mouse to your host operating system, VirtualBox reserves a special key on your keyboard for itself: the "host key". By default, this is the right Control key on your keyboard; on a Mac host, the default host key is the left Command key.
