VM window size not restored after save-state (Ubuntu 20.04, VB 6.1.8)

[Jim Avera]

If the "x" close button on a VM is pressed, and "Save state" is selected, then when the VM is started up later, the desktop is much smaller (looks like a default small size -- possibly the same as the size of the startup splash window?)

VB Version 6.1.8 r137981 (Qt5.12.8)

Host: Ubuntu 20.04, X11 with gnome-shell 3.36.2, Intel built-in graphics (in i7-8700K cpu)

Guest: Windows 10 64-bit with latest GAs installed

FWIW, these are the same symptoms reported in https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16593 ; that bug says it was fixed in 5.1.22

I'll attach before & after screen shots and VBox.log files.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Boot Win-10 VM, expand the VM window to a large size.
2. Click the "X" window-manager icon to close the VM window
3. Check "Save state", click OK

(VBox.log.1 was from the above)

4. In VB gui, click "Start" to restore the VM

Initially an image of the large VM window appears with the "restoring..." progress meter. Then the VM window shrinks to a small size

(VBox.log is from step 4.)

FWIW, I too am having this same behavior on Fedora 34 with VB 6.1.22. I will be happy to attach screen shots and logs, if it will be helpful. Mainly just wanted to give a bump to this defect.

Isn't this the same as https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2942 "Save state -> Start/resume does not restore window size" ?
