I have been using Citrix to remote into a Windows 7 machine that's running Ubuntu in VirtualBox. The issue I ran into was repeated characters all over the place. I tried a few things but the following is what worked for me:
You can do so by clicking the user cog wheel > System Settings > Layout Settings, test the layout that fits better and re-test the keys on the system.
Press Control + Command + ⌘ at the same time to release the mouse from the VirtualBox window.
On your virtual machine (guest) type xset r off
This will turn off repeat.
This post helped me today, but I had to use a variation. If you only have terminal/console (no desktop environment) on the VM, try this:
setterm -repeat off
