Description
Hi,
Using an Ubuntu host (replicated on 12.04, 13.04, 13.10 and 14.04) with a Windows 8.1 guest there are some full-screen visuals which result in blank/black screen output of the guest system. If the mouse inside the guest is moved to any of the four corners, the screen is shown correctly behind the Windows 8.1 interface. Moving the mouse away from the corners or their features results in a blank/black screen once more. Guest additions are installed and up to date (4.3.14r95030 now - has occurred in all 4.3.xx versions). The guest additions are updated using Windows 8.1 Safe Mode.
I have tried turning off the 3D acceleration with no alteration to the symptoms. I had recorded a session of this occurring using the Video capture but I've discovered my installation also suffers from ticket 13073 (green-screen capture).
This is easily replicated with some (not all) games. The Angry Birds suite of games are all affected, for example. During loading, the splash screen is shown but once the title screen appears the symptoms begin.
Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
