VirtualBox Manager MicroFont

Post by UhostWguest »

Running VirtualBox 6.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 on a 1080p display.

Everything was normal.

Added a 2nd 1080p display and set Ubuntu to mirror screens, still everything normal.

Rebooted Ubuntu. Displays came up in mirrored mode as expected. Started VirtualBox Manager and the GUI fonts are now microscopic, perhaps 3 point sized. The tooltips and menus are normal font size, but the main interface type is unusably small.

Problem persists through a restart of VirtualBox Manager.

Problem persists through a reboot of Ubuntu.

Switch from Mirror displays to Join Displays, launch VBM and now the fonts are unusably large. Switch from Join Displays to Mirror displays while VBM is running and fonts are (mostly) normal again... Exit VBM and relaunch while display is still in Mirror mode and fonts are microscopic again.

Ideas?

Thanks.
