VirtualBox Management GUI - Size of Settings Window

Post by andreas2307 »

Dear VirtualBox specilists,

I am running VirtualBox on Ubuntu 18.04 (Linux Mint 19.3). My virtual machines are running fine - but:
I am facing an issue with the management GUI tool for my vms (VirtualBox) - not the screen of a running VM!!

There is the "Settings" Window for a VM:

When I click this button, then the settings for a specifc VM are opened.
Unfortunaltely this window ist too large; the "OK" or "Cancel" button are not visible - although my hosts screen resolution is set to max!
I is not possible to move ore resize this window - as the top and buttom parts are not visible...

May I ask you for advice?!

kind regards,
Andreas

On many Linux desktop environments, you can move windows without having access to the title bar: Press and hold the ALT key on the keyboard, click and hold the left mouse button anywhere on the window and drag it. ;)
