Cancelled Quit leads to VM abort

Reported by: RJV:B Owned by:
Component: VM control Version: VirtualBox 4.3.18

Description

Happened twice to me today:

  • hit Command-Q accidentally while working in a Linux VM
  • Hit the Cancel button when the "are you sure you want to quit" dialog appeared
  • "enjoyed" seeing the VM abort

This is a VM booted off a physical, external USB drive. It seems that the host part of the VM releases control of that disk back to the host as soon as Command-Q is hit (or after the dialog is closed, regardless of the actual return value, which causes the guess to abort because its boot disk is no longer available.

Please add a VBox.log of such a VM session as we cannot reproduce the problem. All what happens at HostKey+Q is that the VM pauses and when you cancel that action, the VM will continue to run. The behavior should be reproducible if you pause+unpause the VM.

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release and provide the requested information.
