monitor detach causes running vm to abort

[Simon Coleman]

Resubmission of #16240 as it applies to 5.1.22 as well. External monitors of differing resolutions to the inbuilt display. Detach of those monitors causes a fullscreen *running* vm to abort.

Success:

• Using the view menu

• pausing the vm

• setting the external monitor to the same resolution as the inbuilt display

All allow the monitor to be detached & the vm to be moved work around the problem.
