Hi There,

I am using OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks) as a host OS with Virtualbox 5.1.8 and I have been having some odd things come up running FreeBSD11p1 as a guest OS. 

I have The FreeBSD pkg/port virtualbox-ose-additions is currently listed as 5.1.6_1 installed and generally it works great, but it seems not to support sharing the clipboard, filesystem or seamless mouse functionality as well as an odd anomaly with the mouse wheel causing Firefox to go to previously visited webpages.

I have been using the closed source Parallels software which has different bugs associated with running FreeBSD as as guest OS.

While I do use FreeBSD as a server remotely I am using this install to evaluate FreeBSD as a desktop environment.

Thank you for your support!
Jason
