Maximize causes incorrect guest resolution at startup — at Initial Version

Reported by: Richard Perry Owned by:
Component: GUI Version: VirtualBox 3.1.4
Keywords: resolution startup maximize xp ubuntu Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Windows

Description

Problem:

When the guest window is maximized, at next reboot, the window is maximized but the guest O/S within is not, leaving a large border around the guest O/S.

You then have to restore ( un-maximize ) the window, and maximize again to get the guest O/S to set itself to the correct resolution.

When you have a normal ( un-maximized ) window set roughly the same size, the problem does not occur, the guest O/S resolution is restored at next reboot.

How to re-create:

  • Maximize guest O/S window
  • Shutdown guest O/S
  • Startup guest O/S

Additional:

Host maximized resolution is 1650x1050 Host is Windows XP but may also affect other host O/S. Guest O/S are Windows XP and Ubuntu, probably affects other guest O/S.

Screenshots of the problem are attached.
