Description
I have installed VirtualBox 5.2.8 on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th generation, which is running KUbuntu 17.10.1, which has a max screen resolution of 2560x1440.
Guest operating systems will not adapt to the resolution of the laptop screen (neither in terms of proportions, nor size). Guest additions are correctly installed.
All attempts to condition the behaviour of the VMs fail, and the desktop of the VMs appears small and surrounded by a black margin to the right and below.
I have (obviously) tried the File-Environment-Display settings, auto resize guest, VBoxManage setextradata, etc. but none of these works.
It is possible to increase the resolution a little, but this setting does not persist, and is never in line with the actual resolution. In the Win10 machine, the pointer is also misaligned, making it impossible to use.
Same behaviour with a previous installation, version 5.1.22 on KUbuntu 17.04.
