This doesn't happen with the test guest additions. The VM starts with a fixed resolution (1024x768 in my case), which is less pretty on a maximized VM window.<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418037333779_13230"><span></span></div><br> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418037333779_13136" style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418037333779_13135" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418037333779_13134" dir="ltr"> <hr id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418037333779_13406" size="1"> <font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418037333779_13133" size="2" face="Arial"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Michael Thayer <michael.thayer@oracle.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> vbox-dev <vbox-dev@virtualbox.org>; Community mailing list of VirtualBox users <vbox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Thursday, December 4, 2014 10:02 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [vbox-dev] Call for testing, second try (Linux and Solaris Guest Additions)<br> </font> </div> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418037333779_13316" class="y_msg_container"><br>Second try<1>, hopefully with the first regression fixed.
