Missing mini-toolbar with B2

Post by RockT »

Hi,

the mini toolbar does not show up, when I move the mouse to upper or lower edge in fullscreen window.

I had 5.0.20 installed, uninstalled completely and went straight to Beta2.

Host:
Ubuntu Xenial
Linux lt1624lx 4.4.0-22-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 12 22:03:46 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Guest:
Win7 64, GuestAdditions 5.1.0r107840, D3D enabled

Hello, I have few questions:
1. Is it usual Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity?
2. Could you enter / exit full-screen for example 10 times, is the issue reproducible?
3. Also, when you say it does not show up - does that mean there is no even activation area (small few-pixels-tall mini-toolbar part)?
Thanks in advance!

Although the questions are not addressed to me but I have some answer :)
1) LinuxMint 17.3
2) I can switch between windowed mode and fullscreen mode but this is not nothing to mini-toolbar. When I press Host+M just a quarter sized frameless windows has been shown to me on center of monitor (with guest's content) and the mini toolbar appears on the bottom of my desktop of host.
3) Not even activation area. Absolutely nothing.

It's Ubuntu Mate.
Yes, switching between windowed and fullscreen mode is no help, not even activation area.

I have two monitors, the vm should start on the second one:

- when starting the vm the activation area appears on the second monitor (!), but the vm starts fullscreen on first with second monitor's resolution (!)
- switching to window mode, moving vm to second monitor and switching back to fullscreen the activation area disappears
- and yet again, no way to get the activation area to appear
