Fedora 22 Host, Windows 7 Guest: switch to seamless turns windows objects into a dark shadow

Reported by: Billamay77 Owned by:

Guest type: Windows Host type: Linux

Description

Hello,

in the following configuration:

  • Lenovo T440p
  • VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
  • VirtualBox 5.0.8 (but it occurs with any 5.x - it was ok with 4.x)
  • Host: Fedora 22, kernel 4.2.3-200.fc22.x86_64
  • Guest: Windows 7 (you can reproduce with Oracle OBI7.3), 4GB ram, 256M video memory

I experience this behaviour:

  • (optional) Set the host desktop background to blue and the guest to yellow to have good contrast
  • Switch to full screen (successful)
  • Switch to seamless mode (unsuccessful)
    • because the windows bar and the windows start menu appear in black
    • windows is unusable
    • you can send ctrl-alt-canc and switch off the guest

I have a video capture I can send. Thanks.

Upgraded to 5.0.10 today, unfortunately it's still happening.

Problem persisting with Fedora 23 and VirtualBox 5.0.12.

The same happens in Arch Linux too. I just want to mention that in my case Direct3D with WDDM support causes the problem. If I reinstall Virtualbox Guest Additions without Direct3D, the problem disappears, but you don't have Aero Glass anymore.
