Description
Disabling Mouse Integration Fails to capture the cursor, the cursor is still freely able to move outside the VM window, occurs in both standard and scaled window mode.
Host is windows 8.1 pro x64, touch mode enabled due to an eye tracker present (ie; simulated touchscreen), but a mouse is used as normal. Guest is windows 2000 pro, 3D and 2D video acceleration disabled but guest add-ons installed correctly.

Confirmed related to the virtual touchscreen, disabling the eye tracker interaction (disables the virtual touchscreen) allows the mouse interaction to behave correctly.

This is not a bug. The mouse cursor is only captured if really necessary. Capturing the mouse cursor is only required if it's not possible to provide the guest absolute mouse coordinates otherwise. You have the USB HID device enabled for your guest so VirtualBox can pass absolute mouse coordinates through this device. In contrast to a PS/2 mouse device which only supports related mouse coordinates.
So 'mouse cursor capture' is not a feature but a workaround to overcome the PS/2 mouse pointer protocol limitation.
