VB 5.2.0 hosts with guest additions installed running on both MAC OS High Sierra and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
Tested on both AMD hardware & Intel hardware.

VB Guest OS's - all versions of Windows

Problem: When 3D Acceleration is enabled in "display" settings the box constraining the guest can be moved but the screen for the guest stays in one place.

The mouse controls for the guest Windows OS will work if the mouse is positioned in the appropriate place in the black background screen. When moving between
multiple monitors the first move leaves the guest hovering between monitors and dragging back to the original monitor leave the guest screen pinned to the right
side of the first monitor. Many other problems exist as well.

Disabling 3D acceleration solves the moving box problem but also disables 3D acceleration.

It seems to be a known problem currently but there are also some other workarounds:

I looked very carefully to see if another thread had been started.

Thanks for the heads up and I will move my comments to the post your recommended.
