Unable to clear terminal using `Ctrl + L` in guest OS

So, I am using XUbuntu 18.04 version, inside Oracle Virtual Box 5.2.18. Now, whenever I press CTRL+L, it gives me a prompt saying it's going to switch to seamless mode, but I want my terminal to clear itself.



Any help? I am using Windows 10 as my host OS.

Please comment if you need any other information?
