Description
Environment: Windows XP or Vista host with Windows XP guest.
Summary: When in seamless mode, the windows guest taskbar will overlay the host taskbar making the host hard to use. The steps to recreate this are below.
- Create an XP VM in VirtualBox 3.2.8 or earlier
- Start the VM
- Open an IE browser
- Switch to seamless mode
- Close the VM, and elect to save its state
- Start the VM
- Lock the screen
- Wait while the VM restores "behind" the locked screen
- Unlock the screen. Note that the browser is displayed in seamless mode, but only one task bar is visible.
I was running a single display. When I extended my display into an auxiliary monitor. the symptom I was was that the VirtualBox taskbar and the VM browser came up in the auxiliary monitor rather than the main monitor.
