fullscreen mode shows 2 items in ubuntu taskbar.
fullscreen mode shows 2 items in ubuntu taskbar.
I am running virtualbox 5.0.0 r101573 (used 4.2) on lubuntu 14.04
Everyting seems to be working fine..
There is 1 strange thing : when I put the guest in full screen mode, a second item is added to my ubuntu task bar
showing the guest icon + [VirtualBox]
(see attachment)

Re: fullscreen mode shows 2 items in ubuntu taskbar.
Your screenshot seems to be from Lubuntu not Ubuntu. I don't have a Lubuntu host but I can't see the "task bar" of a host if a guest is in full screen. However, It looks like you have the guest open, the VirtualBox Manager and Firefox open. Nothing weird except you can see the task bar at all in full screen. Might just be a quirk of Lubuntu or you didn't install the guest additions in your guest..

No, that is not the same problem.

Re: fullscreen mode shows 2 items in ubuntu taskbar.
We need to see the guests log file ( as an attachment ) but in the meantime:
1) how are you starting the guest?
2) Are you using separate mode?
3) When you say full screen are you using the Host-F toggle or the title bar?

Same issue on Linux Mint 17.1 xfce, in full-screen mode:
The right-most item "[VirtualBox]" can be closed from the taskbar, but it seems to kill the pop-up menu in full-screen mode.
So I'm guessing it relates to some change in the way the pop-up menu operates in VB 5.0?

Same thing on Debian (stretch) with xfce 4.12. When vm in full screen but minimized. Also switching to full screen vm from minimized is not smooth - host taskbar(s) are visible until mouse click inside vm... pretty annoying.
Re: fullscreen mode shows 2 items in ubuntu taskbar.
I see this with Ubuntu 15.04 und Unity as well. For every open full screen window another empty window with title 'VirtualBox' exists. See attachments... This happens since version 5.0.

Re: fullscreen mode shows 2 items in ubuntu taskbar.
The additional window seems to be for the mini-toolbar. If I close this window the mini toolbar menu is gone.

Is this behaviour as expected or should I enter a bug report?
Re: fullscreen mode shows 2 items in ubuntu taskbar.
This is especially a problem in tiling window managers like i3.
Menubarwindow (does not repaint / update) is above the guest window - it stays black when powering up a guest
so i can't see the actual guest until i move the menubar or guest to another desktop.

Re: fullscreen mode shows 2 items in ubuntu taskbar.
So, is there any solution to disable or remove second item from taskbar, that is for virtualbox's menubar in fullscreen mode?

Curious, I'd have hoped this would've been 're-fixed' in 5.1.28....
