Ubuntu – Unity doesn’t hide in VirtualBox Fullscreen Mode

14.04fullscreenunityvirtualbox

I am running Windows 8.1 in VirtualBox on Ubuntu 14.04.
Everything works perfectly except the fullscreen mode. Windows expands to the fullscreen resolution, but Unity's Launcher and top panel always shows on top and overlaps the top and the left edge of Windows.

Every other application works just fine in fullscreen mode (VLC, Youtube in Chrome, etc..)

I searched across the web but couldn't find a solution.

Here is a picture of my problem.

I had the same issue with Vbox 4.3.16 on Ubuntu 14.04 with W7 guest. Unckecking Mini ToolBar fixed it (machine settings -> General -> Advanced).
