Example to reproduce:[[BR]] Start a VM of your choice with VBoxHeadless, open a terminal window.[[BR]] Now you need a commandline program which needs some time to finish. start it, minimize your vm window, restore the window after the time you guess the execution of the program finished.[[BR]] Now you see that the output of that program in your terminal window is garabage. You need to click inside or press enter to get the screen finally updated.[[BR]] I made my test with a short script:[[BR]] {{{ echo ""START"" sleep 2 echo ""garbage garbage"" }}} During the ""sleep 2"" you have to minimize the vm window. This missing update also is to be seen with gui applications. I tested with different guests (win,os2,linux) and hosts (sol10, sol11) and found out that this error *only* disappears if you downgrade to virtualbox 3.2 I used the solaris11-rdesktop , the opencsw rdesktop and the rdesktop-vrdp which comes with Virtualbox. If you use the VirtualBox GUI or VBoxSDL this does NOT happen, so its the VRDP + rdesktop combination. ",defect,closed,other,VirtualBox 4.1.14,fixed,vrdp rdp rdesktop screen,,all,Solaris
