Cannot access VirtualBox menus in full-screen mode

Reported by: Reuben Thomas Owned by:

Description

On an Ubuntu 14.04 system running GNOME 3.10, the VirtualBox menus are no longer accessible in VirtualBox 5.0, installed from the PPA (5.0.0-101573~Ubuntu~trusty). Putting the mouse at the bottom of the screen, the menu does not appear. I have tried explicitly lowering the full-screen window of the Windows 7 guest, but to no avail.

Downgrading to virtualbox-4.3-10161~Ubuntu~trusty fixes the problem, suggesting it was introduced in VirtualBox 5.0.

Any improvement with VBox 5.0.2?

Seems fine in 5.0.2, thanks.

Unfortunately the bug is not fully fixed in 5.0.2.

When I start up a full-screen guest, the menus are now accessible.

However, when I switch to a different host window and then back to the full-screen guest, the menus have disappeared (normally a small part is visible at the bottom of the screen); mousing over the bottom of the screen does not bring them back.

The bug is still not fixed in 5.0.4, with the same problem as in 5.0.2.
