I assume that you tried <Rt-Ctlr> to release the pointer?

I have seen some strange behavior with 4.1.10 involving both mouse and
keyboard, but not FreeBSD related. I see them on my Ubuntu guest on my
Windows 7 host, too. Particularly I've had odd issues with mouse
clicks on the host system after starting the VM and I, too, have had
the pointer trapped on occasion, but not consistently.
