Some more questions / things to try:

1) Copy the project folder elsewhere in your home directory, but not in the dropbox tree.  Try to edit.
2) In the copied folder, run chmod --recursive a+w *.  Try to edit.
3) Try creating a new module, class or form.  Try this in both the copied folder and the original.  Try to add code and edit the new module etc.
4) Can the problems be related to dropbox.

Agreed. But so far, this understanding has not helped me to find a solution.

What directory is your project located?  Have you tried copying the project
to your home directory?

It is on my home directory (everything is under
/home/fernando/Dropbox/Gambas/*"). Directory Dropbox is a local directory
that is replicated by Dropbox so I have a copy available in other machines
that respect the same structure).

In the vm, is Gambas loading the project directly from the original
directory or from a copy in the vm.

Yes. In the VM Gambas works with the same files directly. The
above-mentioned directory is mounted on the VM so Gambas sees them as local
files (local to the VM).

Does your system enable extended ACLs?  Are you running AppArmor or
SELinux?  What about in the vm?

Not running AppArmor or SELinux. Extended ACLs not enabled.

OS running on the physical machine is precisely the same that runs on the
virtual machine. I install them both from the same source and give them the
same configuration. For instance, now I am running Linux Mint 18.2 on the
metal and, under VirtualBox I have the same Linux Mint 18.2 (technically it
is not a clone, but it looks a lot like it).

Benoît, I don't know which input method I am using and I don't know how to
find it.
Nevertheless, I know for sure it is the standard method for Linux Mint,
whichever it is.
I've never tinkered with it. Also, IDE used to work. All of sudden, it
stopped working.
I had changed nothing between the working stage and the non-working stage.
Besides, when I install the virtual machines, I use the default input
method (whichever it is).

Perhaps you can provide me with a command to find out what input method I
am using.
The nearest I got to it was by looking into the files at /etc/X11/xinit.
Basically, either they are empty or say "default".
