Mouse in guest FreeBSD not clicking

Hello!
I run a FreeBSD/i386 guest inside Virtual Box running on Windows
10. PAE-mode is enabled.
. virtualbox-ose-additions are installed and
configured to load at boot.
. My ~/.xinitrc begins with VBoxClient-all.
. I do NOT have EFI enabled.
. I am NOT using HAL.
. VirtualBox is configured to emulate PS/2 mouse --
and psm0 is detected at boot.
I have the mouse-integration mostly working in X11 -- the mouse
(vboxmouse) moves around and is not "captured".
However, the guest sees none of the clicks -- neither the regular
ones, nor the double clicks. I can switch focus from one window to
another by simply moving the mouse, but I can't invoke any menus
nor select a text to clipboard.
Searching online I can see plenty of people (and not just FreeBSD
users) asking about this problem, but no meaningful answers.
Is there a trick to it?
Thank you! Yours,
-mi
