Thank you for the report. Unfortunately, this is a consequence of the way how SDL (which is used for rendering the guest display on Linux hosts by default) integrates with Qt and we can't do much here. According to our knowledge, there is no way to map a portion of the SDL framebuffer that starts not from {0,0} to the Qt window.
If you really need a workaround, you may try to start the machine manually using the following command line:
The -rmode image option will select a different rendering mode which is compatible with scroll bars and gives almost the same performance as SDL.
