OSX: Can't re-open main window once closed

[Calum Benson]

Once a VM is running, I like to close the main window to reduce desktop clutter. However, there is no way from the VM's menu bar (or the dock icon) to re-open the main window.

(FWIW, it's a violation of the Mac Human Interface Guidelines to completely change the menu bar for different windows of the same application. The menu bar should remain constant, with items only enabled/disabled according to context.)

Please reopen if this problem still applies to the latest release 2.2.2.

I don't think this is fixed at all. I was asking for a way to open the main VirtualBox.app window from a guest's menubar or dock icon, but I still see no way to do that.

Works here. Just go to the Applications directory and start VirtualBox (the VM selector).
