Description
Version 4.3.16 introduced multiple display problems. Previous versions had problems but was usable, this version not so much.
Host is Linux Mint, Guest is Windows 8.1 guest additions installed. On session start, VB line menu which is normally at the bottom of the screen is about 1/4" up, when clicking it, host menu will sometimes show up. If window view isn't changed, mouse works fine. As soon as the display mode is changed mouse is lost. Swithcing to seemless mode, screen becomes smaller then guest desktop (buttons at bottom are missing) Mouse lost. switching back to full screen mouse still lost, guest menus show up with alt tab. Must alt-tab back to guest. From fresh start Sitch to scaled mode, shows full screen, mouse lost.
switching back (somehow) to full screen disabling mouse shows two mice, however the active mouse crashes windows 8 when the menu is attempted to be displayed.
I won't be able to offer any further info, as I'm reverting to the older working version.

Thank you for the report. Since you are not interested in following it up further though I will close it again as "obsolete". I think that most or all of what you report is being discussed in other bug tickets and much of it should already be fixed in current builds<1>.
