Install the VirtualBox Guest Additions Plug in.

From Console File → Device → Insert Guess Additions Image CD.

I tried reinstalling Guest Additions as a last resort and it worked.

The key point is that it’s a reinstallation.

If VBox had even a single message like “there’s a new version of Guest Additions available, please install it,” this would have been resolved immediately, but since there’s nothing like that at all, it was quite troublesome.
