#21768 new defect
"Discard" not really discarding the saved state.

Description
If I discard the saved state and exit the VirtualBox GUI immediately, the state isn't really discarded. After the new start of the VBox GUI, the state is still here.
It looks like the state is really discarded only after the start of the VM. I already mentioned this in another ticket. #21152

I just tested it; both the snapshots (the .VDI files) and the saved state, created by closing the VM window and choosing the first option in the dialog (.SAV files), I can't reproduce this behavior. But it could possibly be that the broken state of the snapshot or saved state is the culprit here. In both cases, I had a state or snapshot I couldn't restore. That's why I had to drop them in the first place.
If you know the quick way to cause such corrupted snapshots and saved states that we can't restore them, it would be nice of you to explain it. So it would be possible for me to test this situation.
Just to get a current description of the problem since you mention ticket #21152 where you report snapshots aren't working at all on your system, is the situation the same that taking snapshots or discarding snapshots don't work at all? Or have the issues in #21152 been resolved and now it's just that discarding a saved state right after killing the VirtualBox GUI isn't working? Do you have any other systems to try this out on? I'm not able to reproduce the issue reported in this ticket yet and snapshots and such work for me so I just wanted to get a better picture of what exactly you are reporting. Thanks!
