Description

VirtualBox 1.3.6 on Windows 2000 Pro SP4

Today after switching to a vbox window I noticed, that the it was of wrong size. See attached picture. Also when I tried to resize it with the mouse, after clicking on the resize corner (lower right), the window size jumped to the right, so that the where I clicked, now the red dot was. (that is , right after clicking the vbox windows extended about 5 cm to the right) By moving the mouse, the windows size changed, but always the originally clicked edge was 5 cm right of the mouse pointer, in other words, the mouse pointer was always at the point marked red on the picture.

News : I closed vbox and started it again and it was OK for a while, then I clicked on the taskbar to get vbox to foreground and it looked like on the second attached picture.

Frankly saying, your description is not very clear. Do you mean that after moving the mouse to the resize corner and pressing the left button, the window size was increased to the right by 5 cm but the mouse position remained at the point marked by the red dot?

Yes, that is right, Dmitry. ;-)
