#7095 closed defect (obsolete)

Ubuntu guest system missing windows header/title/frame in desktop integration mode within 3D acceleration enabled.

Reported by: Evgeny Owned by:
Component: 3D support Version: VirtualBox 3.2.6

Guest type: Linux Host type: Windows

Description

Minor problem was found on Ubuntu guest. If 3D acceleration enabled and desktop integration turned on (HostK+L) all guest windows miss own frames. It is imposible to manipulate window (frame, like moving or closing) by mouse, by keyboard works. When i'm trying to move window by keyboard I can see window header/frame right on window internal "viewport" but the rest of window will be cutten. Since moving acion is over "viewport" moves to the new position (of window) and frame disapears again (outside of "viewport"). Host is WinXP x64.

I'm actually surprised that seamless and Compiz can work together at all. Disregarding that, is that a 32bit guest or a 64bit one? I would like to provide you with a test version of the VBoxClient guest tool that may fix the issue for you.

Well I was nicelly surprised too... Any way it was x64 guest on WinXP x64. And I sure that it doesn't matter couse I saw exectly the same on W7x64 host and Ubx32 as guest. First version of Ubuntu is karmic, another one is lucid... OK, I'll test and report... Could you send it on my own e-mail (in registration one) please?

Here are links to download it if that is OK for you:

http://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VBoxClient-Compiz-32bit

and

http://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VBoxClient-Compiz-64bit

All the usual disclaimers apply. What is more, those were built locally on my Ubuntu 10.04 x86-64 host, so they will probably not work everywhere (shouldn't be relevant in this case though).

Well I replaced VBoxClient with one provided and reboot the system. Well now it's better: header/frame of windows appear in seamless mode. But what is steel present it a cut (by old window position viewport but with frame now) of visible part during window movements. And small parts of guest desktop appears in roundness of guest window frame but this is minor. What is really disturbing that is imposible to bring host os window over guest one even it is on-top. Right after host window is drawn guest draws own windows over host.

This issue still occurs in the latest version (3.2.12), and is not limited to Ubuntu.

Host OS: Windows 7 Pro (64-bit)
Host GPU: nVidia GeForce 8600 GT
Guest OS: Fedora 14 (64-bit)

I'm using a custom version of the VirtualBox guest additions to work around this bug. When I enable Compiz and activate Seamless Mode, the application windows don't have the title bar or the minimize/maximize/restore buttons. This also occurs on my laptop (Intel Mobile 4 chipset, Windows 7 64-bit host, Fedora 14 32-bit guest).

Michael, I'm reluctant to try the build you linked since I don't know if it'll be compatible with the 3.2.12 release. Would you be able to update it for the latest release? I'll be happy to give it a shot.
