seems to require guest additions to be installed, FWIW :)

Summary: screen garbled when saving VMScreen garbled when saving VM state
  1. That is correct. If some of the Display Settings are not the proper ones, and you haven't installed the matching Guest Additions (GAs), all sorts of corruption in the graphics will happen.
  1. It's usually better and faster, if issues get first addressed in the VirtualBox forums, a lot more eyes there. More than 95% of the issues are resolved in the forums, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of.
  1. Glad you figured it out, closing as [WorksForMe].
  1. For future reference, you were supposed to follow these steps when you filed the bug, and provide a VBox.log:

    Attach a (full) log file ("Machine" menu/"Show Log" in the main VirtualBox Manager window) straight away to save time for you and for us. The log file contains a lot of useful information about both the host and the guest systems as well as information about what happened during a particular machine run. Please do not cut and paste it.
