Has a problem to be MAJOR to get it fixed in what is supposed to be a major new version??? And what is the definition of major anyway?dmcgraw wrote:How can this be such a major problem?
A GUI problem, the GUI being what the user sees the first time, is IMO. Having to reposition the Window EVERY time I start VB is a pain.
Just open it a few times and suddenly you won't even see it any longer!!!

Re: Time to fix this:
sounds like a qt4 on macosx problem to me, possibly not a virtualbox one.
have you got any other qt4 programs you could test to see if they remember their window location?
we must remember this is a beta, its supposed to be full of bugs, but hopefully if we report them they will get fixed before going final.

qt4 is the graphical toolkit used in cross-platform programs like videolan, handbrake and virtualbox, its what paints the windows essentially.manfredell wrote:What do you mean by qt4???

sorry i didn't realise it was an issue in 2.x as well, although looking at this ticket it used to happen on linux in 1.x http://www.virtualbox.de/ticket/1954

OK then: Handbrake and VLC on OSX save the window position just fine.sej7278 wrote:qt4 is the graphical toolkit used in cross-platform programs like videolan, handbrake and virtualbox, its what paints the windows essentially.manfredell wrote:What do you mean by qt4???
