Description
I'm running VirtualBox 6.0.2 on Solaris 11.4. I have a 24" Sun monitor.
Running Linux Mint 18.1, I can run in full screen just fine.
Running Linux Mint 19.1, if I try to resize the VM window to be close to the size of the monitor, or run in full screen mode, it only displays a black screen. Resizing the window to be smaller causes the display to appear.
I've installed the 6.0.2 Guest Additions in both cases.
I've updated Linux Mint in both cases.
Even with Linux Mint 18.1, I had at least one case where it would refuse to use the entire screen size. I reinstalled the Guest Additions and then it started working correctly.
Of course all of this could be a problem with Linux Mint, but I have no idea how to determine that.
I was previously using VirtualBox 6.0.0 with Linux Mint 18.1 and never had any problems at all with that combination so I fear that something might be broken with 6.0.2.
