As said in the 7.6 Release Notes, you need the VirtualBox Guest Additions 5.2.23 to work with 7.6. You need to get those from vbox.

RH has also backported a bug, which needs to be fixed too: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15570

There is currently version 6.0 of VirtualBox, only 64-bits.

I upgrade the kernel (version 4.19) using ELRepo and the problem with the strange operations of the mouse disappeared.
