FreeBSD virtualbox client - lost mouse clicks with recent port upgrades until I enabled 'moused'

Just as a public service announcement, I use poudriere to build a ports tree for FreeBSD 12.1, and FreeBSD
VirtualBox clients on both FreeBSD and Ubuntu stopped responding to mouse clicks (but not mouse movements)
with something that changed recently. I enabled 'moused' in /etc/rc.conf and they started working again.
Posting to forums so that anybody who runs into the same issue know that there is a workaround.
 
I've got FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p2 installed on a ThinkPad T440. I lost mouse movement and clicks a few weeks ago and hadn't had time to look into it.
But this solved it! Thanks very much for sharing!
