When I move the mouse pointer over the windows it disappears from that windows? What if I need to copy dome text from the guest terminal?
Also, I cannot Use the menu key in the guest terminal in order to copy and paste commands.
Host: Fedora 22
Guest: Ubuntu server 14.04

You need to install VirtualBox Guest Additions. The same thing happens with VMWare Player and other software alike. Without the Guest Additions, you have to use Ctrl to switch your mouse from your host OS to the guest OS.
By installing Guest Additions, this allows your mouse to be used normally, copy folders/files from the host OS to the guest OS, etc.
You can install this by clicking on Devices > Install Guest Additions
If that option isn't available, try typing yum install dkms in the terminal.
