Windows screen detaching from frame

Post by dkardell »

For some reason on 6.0.4 when i move my windows frame, the frame moves but the client area remains. Resizing the frame works just fine as does full screen. Its just moving frame around when in window'ed mode.

Are you on an OSX host?
Then it's a known issue. See VB display frame and content are no longer bound in High Sierra (osx 10.13) for a couple of workarounds.

When moving the frame of Ubuntu running on a Mac, the frame moves but the client window detaches. What can I provide to help debug.

How about reading your previous post, which had the answer, and which I'm going to merge your current question to? The one that you never replied to? And move both of them from "Linux Guests" and "Windows Guests" to the "OSX Hosts" where the question belongs.

This question was a very close to a duplicate one, but not quite actually, that's why it doesn't get deleted. I hope that by moving it to the correct section of the forums, it will answer the question "Where is the problem?", if it wasn't obvious from the previous reply...
