14778	Multi-monitor setup - screens swapped	Wand		"Win7 host, WinXP guest, 2-monitors setup (laptop & external monitor), seamless mode.

After upgrading to VBox 5, it seems that VBox perceives monitor1 as monitor 2 and monitor2 as monitor1. Upon guest startup, 1 window opens at first and XP starts booting. After a while, when switching to graphical environment (during the XP boot process, just before the login screen appears) a 2nd window appears and the XP boot progress is shown in that window (the 2nd instead of the 1st). After that, the guest OS seems to treat the 2nd VBox window as the 1st screen and vice-versa. I enabled the mini-toolbar and set the 1st virtual screen to use host screen 1 but instead it used host screen 2. If VS1 is set to HS2, it works as intended but then if the guest is shut down, the external monitor is plugged-out and the guest is restarted, nothing is shown because in the laptop's monitor, the 2nd VS is supposed to be shown.

The ""Display"" of the guest shows as monitor #1 the laptop monitor and as #2 the external (i can tell from the different resolutions), however the contents of monitor 1 are shown in #2 and vice-versa.

Everything worked normally in VBox4 from which i upgraded the host and guest installations."	defect	new	GUI/seamless	VirtualBox 5.0.6		multi-monitor swapped		Windows	Windows
