Video output of Ubuntu VM is displayed incorrectly and hides UI behind the output when windowed

[DesertWolf]

After doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10 on a new virtual machine, I went ahead and installed the virtual box guest additions. Afterwords, I restarted the machine and then the display outputs a little higher then normal when using the machine in windowed mode. This causes the top of the UI to be hidden, and the tool bar in Ubuntu to be un-useable. You can still click the X - + buttons in the top left hand corner but you can't see them or use the toolbar in Ubuntu.

Here's exactly what I did to get this issue:

1. Installed the latest version of Virtual box on my Mac
2. Installed the Virtual Box Extension provided by Oracle
3. Set up a new machine to run Ubuntu 13.10
4. Installed Ubuntu
5. Updated Ubuntu and installed dkms
6. Installed the guest additions
7. Restarted the machine using Ubuntu and thats when I got this problem.

Settings in Virtual Box I changed before installing Ubuntu:

1. Enabled 3D Acceleration
2. Increased the number of CPUs to 4
3. Increased the VRAM to 128mb

I am currently running OSX 10.9 and have a screen shot of the problem and the VBox.log file.

Same issue here.

Two additional notes:

*) problem also evident in VB 4.2.x

*) at least in my setup, the mouse cursor itself is positioned correctly, i.e., it uses the intended coordinates as if the guest display was not shifted upwards. The effect is that I have to position the cursor below the target I want to click on (with the offset being exactly the height of the hidden UI toolbar)
