Share bluetooth devices does not work on linux hosts

Hello,

the function 'share bluetooth devices' under the usb tab is not working for me under linux. The guest recognizes the virtual bluetooth adapter,

but no device can be found when searching for devices, although the host can find various devices.

I tried the following linux distributions:

Ubuntu 19.10

Manjaro KDE

The problem only occurs on linux hosts. I tried a windows host too and the feature worked just fine: the guest could find various bluetooth devices.

Is this a known problem and how can I fix it?

Thank you for your help.
