Guest not booting in full-screen
Oracle VB 5.2.12 with VB additions of same version
Host: OS X 10.12.latest
Problem is reproducible on Windows XP and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64Bits.
When a guest runs it runs and is used always in full-screen. Also booting and shutting down in full-screen <<< that's the configuration the network here users desire .
However it boots in standalone window (or stand-alone window maximized) instead of full-screen if immediately after push on Guest Start button (Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager) user switches on host to another workspace (Desktop) - which is the problem me likes to ask if a common one?

Re: Guest not booting in full-screen
A guest that starts full screen on OSX gets its own desktop. That's the way full-screen applications work on OSX. Try it with a video on YouTube...

Re: Guest not booting in full-screen
I see this too.
However in the case here if on host user switches to other Desktop (to an arbitrary one, nothing in common with Desktop the VB runs on) immediately after had pushed guest's start button in VB Manager the guest starts in standalone window. If user refrains from that immediate switch to other Desktop guest starts as expected in own Desktop and full-size.

Re: Guest not booting in full-screen
here is a list of macOS tutorials that are dealing with multiple monitors.
You should notice that macOS controls the screens, not the applications.

Re: Guest not booting in full-screen
Does the term "Desktop" used in my elaborations really mean the same as term "monitor" or "screen" which ChipMcK is using in her/his answer?
"Desktop" addressed on this side is virtual network provided by host OS. The setup here is one display + multiple virtual desktops. Will articles provided kindly apply in same way?
Is it really the way the OS but not app controls also the mode of running app's window?
Please note the choice if guest in full-screen or standalone is made on VirtualBox side not on that of host.

Re: Guest not booting in full-screen
It depends. And especially if you're from a non-English speaking country/OS setup, the meaning may be lost in translation...Winxp-on-Macos wrote:Does the term "Desktop" used in my elaborations really mean the same as term "monitor" or "screen" which ChipMcK is using in her/his answer?
Network? I think you mean "virtual screen".Winxp-on-Macos wrote:"Desktop" addressed on this side is virtual network provided by host OS.
Read them. Then you can answer your own question.Winxp-on-Macos wrote:Will articles provided kindly apply in same way?
If an application is requesting FullScreen mode, then the OS gives that "screen" a new desktop (that's the term used in OSX). So, yes.Winxp-on-Macos wrote:Is it really the way the OS but not app controls also the mode of running app's window?
That's on every application. The application decides if it wants to go full screen. Then OSX obliges and takes it full screen. Is this your first time using OSX?Winxp-on-Macos wrote:Please note the choice if guest in full-screen or standalone is made on VirtualBox side not on that of host.

Re: Guest not booting in full-screen
MacOS: Full-Screen request results in a Desktop. You may assign an app to a certain DeskTop. System Preferences --->> Mission Control plus Cntrl+Right Click Options on the Dock's Badge/Icon.
This discussion should be in an Apple forum, as it is "How do I control my Host?", not "How to use VBox?'.

Re: Guest not booting in full-screen
Thank you for all the information from you. Well I will track on OSX side too.
In the beginning this effect was not occurring. It started to be reproducible at certain time of point, possibly it was upgrade from OS X 10.9 to Mac OS 10.12 (but I am not sure if me is right now regarding the point of time).
However I like to point out one question more:
> The application decides if it wants to go full screen, then .....
So theoretically the root cause can still be on app's side.

Re: Guest not booting in full-screen
No. It's YOU. YOU decide that you want to go full screen. VirtualBox listens, passes the info to OSX and OSX creates a new desktop. This is how things are. Do not go on a witch hunt when there are no witches!Winxp-on-Macos wrote:So theoretically the root cause can still be on app's side.

Re: Guest not booting in full-screen
Investigation in OS X has been started. Thank you for your hints.
When it comes to me - the user - all i did was to enable full-screen for guest in VB Manager several years ago. Since then guest is started, rebooted and shutted down several times a day. It starts in fullscreen. Nowadays but occasionally user switches on host side to other Desktop/Workspace immediately after had invoked guest start (Start button in VB Manager). No explicit nor intentional switch to stand-alone mode.socratis wrote:No. It's YOU. YOU decide that you want to go full screen.

Please search the Mac forums, not on the VirtualBox forums.
I agree with ChipMcK 100% and this discussion is going nowhere, but in circles.ChipMcK wrote:This discussion should be in an Apple forum, as it is "How do I control my Host?", not "How to use VBox?'.
There's nothing more to discuss here, VirtualBox is following OSX standard practices. Locking this.Winxp-on-Macos wrote:possibly it was upgrade from OS X 10.9 to Mac OS 10.12
