Description
After struggling all day trying to keep 5.2.44 working with VVV, I decided to try updating to 6.1.14. As a result, when I open up the VirtualBox Manager GUI, I get this broken display. The contents are in the incorrect location and aren't clickable. If I expand the window, all of the content disappears. Luckily, I don't need to use the configuration tools there at the moment but this will be a problem for me quite soon.

Here is some additional information:
- Host OS: Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS x86_64
- Kernel (because this was giving me trouble before): 5.8.0-7625-generic
- GNOME Shell: 3.36.4
I installed VirtualBox via apt, so I'm not sure why I can't update to 6.1.16 but I'm at 6.1.14.
Everything was working well with 5.2.44 but I tried to update VVV and it's associated VM and it broke my entire VirtualBox application so I couldn't start any VMs, whether made by VVV or manually by myself (not the first time this has happened). Looks like the kernel update from the VVV VM update couldn't be handled by VirtualBox 5.2.44 (or 5.2.42).
