I think it happened after an update of the Host OS Ubuntu 20.04: A full screen VM display correctly. However each Host screen with a window is displayed with the last full screen Virtualbox VM. Last is the one with the highest number. I can get even 3 virtual desktops mixed in one screen, see screenshot.

I updated my i5-2520M laptop and I do not have the problem there. I use Ubuntu Mate 20.04 there and the same Virtualbox release, exactly the same VMs (copied from the desktop) do not give the problem.

I've detected, that if you select a virtual desktop through the mouse on the displayed virtual desktop panel on the right, all desktops are displayed at the same moment on the screen.
If you use the Windows-key and page-up page-down the display is as expected and perfect :)
