[vbox-dev] Latest build r52576

[Mikhail Sennikovsky]

Hi Perry,

So it appears to be a 3D host-side issue. I will try to reproduce it locally, and will let you know how it goes.

Thanks,
Mikhail

Disabling 3D in the settings which reverts to software rendering and the resize works as it should, but that is not acceptable as you well know. Processor goes nuts!

Mouse integration is still active and if you can determine where to put it you can click to shut the guest down.  But when it starts again the previous size (one before you resize) is shown again link it did not save the pointers in the vbox file.

Also the guest is really sluggish (even my typing outruns the terminal and I can't type more than 80 wpm), like it was running in software rendering but it states that chromium and humper are in fact being used.

I also looked over the xorg log and did not find anything that stood out as an warning/error.  It all looks good but just does not work properly at all.
