Description
Resubmission of #16240 as it applies to 5.1.22 as well. External monitors of differing resolutions to the inbuilt display. Detach of those monitors causes a fullscreen *running* vm to abort.
Success:
- Using the view menu
- pausing the vm
- setting the external monitor to the same resolution as the inbuilt display
All allow the monitor to be detached & the vm to be moved work around the problem.
