Mouse release from VM

I am running Windows 8.1 as a host - 12 core 64 gb ram.  I am running a mix of Linux and Windows guests, and as of 11.x, when i press Ctrl+Alt, the mouse will not release.  I have to shut down the guest vm to release it back to the host.  In addition, sometimes the scoll lock key will release the mouse.

ANy advice?
