XP or WIN7 guest windows always on top in seamless mode

Post by ilinty74 »

Hi

On my workstation running OpenSuse tumbleweed in last weeks and after update to virtualbox 5.1.6.r1 I have problems with windows in seamless mode:
The guest windows (I have tried Windows XP and Windows 7) remains always on top of linux windows.
Sometimes after Host+L (switch to scaled mode) and then Host+L (return in seamless mode) for little time the bug seams resolved but after a short time the bug is again present.
Any ideas ?

my system:
Tumbleweed 20160926
Linux linux-q5nf 4.7.4-2-default , 64 bit
Kde plasma 5.7.4
Qt 5.6.1
Kde framework
5.26.0
