[Bug 1868179] [NEW] Typing in virtualbox during installation does not work

[ruud]

Public bug reported:

I tried to install Ubuntu 19.10, 20.04 and 18.04.4LTS in virtualbox 6.1
on MacOS Catalina. The installating packages starts, the mouse works, so
I can navigate all the way through to the user account creation screen.
However, I cannot input anything using the keyboard. I can drag the
dialogue text into the text fields but not delete/add by typing into the
field. All keyboard input is ignored. I use the standards laptop
keyboard of the mac which otherwise works fine. Since it fails in all
versions specified above it is likely to be related to the combination
of VirtualBox, MacOS and the ubuntu installe package.
