Creating a child snapshot with different disc image attached also changes the one attached in main snapshot

However, if the snapshots (later SS) were created using an older VirtualBox version, the images will stay correctly attached in 5.0.

How to reproduce: 1. Make sure you're running the latest VBox 5.0 as previous releases doesn't appear to have this issue. 2. Create a new virtual machine with arbitrary settings. 3. Attach a CD/DVD image of your choice, then create the first SS. 4. Once done, replace the attached CD/DVD image with a different one, and create a secondary SS. 5. Now restore the first SS and you should be able to see the that the attached CD/DVD image differs from what you used before.

Actually I just tried version 4.3.30 and this happens there too.

This issue is not reproducible despite the fact that I haven't encountered it prior to VirtualBox 5.0.0*. I used to have two snapshots within the same virtual machine, each attached with a different operating system image (32 and 64 bit respectively) where Guest Additions was preinstalled. I used this setup for compilation purposes.

I solved this issue by creating two separate virtual machines (each for the given architecture).

* If I recall correctly, 4.3.24 was the last release this was fully tested on

Duplicate of #16545 - that ticket gave the key hint how to reproduce. Not that yours didn't, but when I read your report I didn't realize that this had to be done 'in one go'.
