Description (last modified by )
Hello,
I have a dual monitor setup, (Laptop Screen 1920x1200 and External Monitor 2560x1600) External Monitor is set as Primary Display Host OS is Linux Mint 20.3
When I open virtualbox using the Linux Menu the window appears in the laptop's display and it looks okay, when I drag the window to my external monitor the window looks weird. This also affects all other windows and even the running virtual machine windows.
And it works fine when turning off any one of the displays using the OS's display settings.
On Laptop:
On Monitor

This looks a bit like the GUI can't make up its mind about the scaling factor to use. Effectively using two at different times...
Can you check in your monitor settings which scaling factor do you use for each monitor? Might help with reproducing.
