Display problems with tiling WMs

Post by pthfdr »

There is one problem when VirtualBox is displaying text consoles after the update.
It seems to assume the user is using one of those desktop environments.
It used to be fine in VB 5.0:

After updating to 5.1,the screen is totally garbled up:

Even worse,after I switch to another program (terminal emulator) and switched back:
(No,it has nothing to do with GIMP,I have already exited that)

(I'm using i3wm in tab mode,by the way.)
Please fix it.
