VirtualBox Manager UI elements flicker with compositing disabled

Description

Since upgrading to 6.1.30, the manager UI (not the guest window) seems to flicker/lag when interacting with certain UI elements. Enabling compositing in xfwm4 fixes the issue.

Video of issue attached. (Apologies for phone camera video. Recording the window with ffmpeg -f x11grab ... makes the issue disappear.)
