When I connect to it with mstsc or xfreerdp and request size 1020x700 by sending {{{ Client MCS Connect Initial PDU with GCC Conference Create Request header_type: CS_CORE Desktop: 1020 x 700, colorDepth: RNS_UD_COLOR_8BPP }}} then VirtualBox replies with {{{ capability 2, capabilitySetType: CAPSTYPE_BITMAP 0x2 desktopWidth: 1020 desktopHeight: 700 }}} BUT the desktop remains at 800x600 and is shown in rdp surrounded by a black border. When connecting the same way with rdesktop VirtualBox replies with {{{ desktopWidth: 800 desktopHeight: 600 }}} and rdesktop thus get a chance to resize properly. The mismatch and black border has the unfortunate side effect in FreeRDP that some redraw operations fails, for example the zoom effect when windows are mini/maximized in XP. Is this a bug or a feature in VirtualBox? If it is a feature: How can we convince VirtualBox to report its screen size back? What is it that makes VirtualBox behave differently in these situations? {{{ VirtualBox-4.0-4.0.0_69151_fedora14-1.i686 Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.0.0-69151.vbox-extpack }}}" defect closed RDP VirtualBox 4.0.0 duplicate other other
