Description
Hello Support Team,
We currently use Orcale VirtualBox 7.0.6.
If you want to close a virtual machine you get the selection, what to do... "Continue running in the background" "Save the machine state" "Send shutdown signal" "Power off the machine"
During the time the pop-up dialog appears until you have made a decision, the machine’s connection is interrupted. You can check with a permanent "ping" getting interrupted. If the dialog is cancelled, the network connection is re-established after 1 or 2 seconds.
I see this as a bug. The machine state should be unchanged until a decision is made. Please double check and tell me, if that is a wanted behavior from your viewpoint or confirm if you see it as bug as well.
Kind regards Dennis Gruener BSH Hausgeraete GmbH

The VirtualBox GUI has been behaving this way for at least 10 years. The reason is that the "Close" window offers saving state, and it would've been extremely hard to control in which state the VM is saved if the VM isn't paused immediately. Especially when all such windows were modal (which was the case until VirtualBox 6.1.x and is finally resolved with 7.0.x).
It is a big change from the current "behaves as designed" which needs some discussion to find a good long term solution. Other users will have different habits and workflows and will likely complain if we're changing this in any way.
