|
|---|
| 14 | FE/Qt:
|
|---|
| 15 | - White spots instead of transparency for the status indicators (ugly).
|
|---|
| 16 | - The button on the about screen is in a ugly square instead of showing the about screen image.
|
|---|
| 17 | - Can't restart VirtualBox in 'view mode' when a VM is running.
|
|---|
| 18 | - Host-F sends keycodes to guest and requires two tries to get back.
|
|---|
| 19 | - virtuedesktops has some focues issues when switching back to a desktop with a fullscreen virtual box.
|
|---|
| 20 | - Weird crash when reactivating (switching to it) the VM window.
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | Devices:
|
|---|
| 23 | - Host DVD
|
|---|
| 24 | - Audio In/Mic
|
|---|
| 25 | - Host Interface Networking (see #1869).
|
|---|
| 26 | - USB proxying (see #1870).
|
|---|
| 27 | - Internal networking (depends on #1865).
|

| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | Main / XPCOM:
|
|---|
| 30 | - (test) read-only system wide install.
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | Misc:
|
|---|
| 33 | - Installer (see #1812)
|
|---|
| 34 | - VMX (see #1865)
|
|---|
| 35 | - Check /dev/vboxdrv reference counting - seems it can be unloaded when it has processes attached.
|
|---|
| 36 | - Figure out how to set the desirable permissions on /dev/vboxdrv.
|
|---|
| 37 | - VBoxSDL is display updating is horribly broken (performance).
|
|---|
| 38 | - VBoxSDL/BFE default hotkey needs to be changed.
