Seamless mode is all-or-nothing
| Reported by: | mi | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | GUI/seamless | Version: | VirtualBox 6.1.10 |
| Keywords: | Cc: | ||
| Guest type: | all | Host type: | Windows |
Description
Bringing one guest-window to the foreground in seamless mode, brings all guest-windows to the foreground, obscuring the natively-running apps.
For example, if I have:
- An xterm running in the upper left corner,
- Another xterm in the lower right corner,
- Microsoft Outlook in the center,
clicking on the first xterm's titlebar will bring both X11-programs to the foreground, obscuring not only the upper-left portion of Outlook, but also the bottom-right segment...
This is both undesired and unexpected. Though my current VB-version is 6.1.10, the problem is not new -- I've had it since my first encounter with VirtualBox years ago.
My guests are all X11-based (FreeBSD and Linux), but someone else told me, they have the same problem with a Windows guest.

Seamless mode is also broken running Windows 10 Host and a Windows 10 Guest. It was broken in 6.1.12 and it is still broken in 6.1.14.
