Move/Drag Applications between Monitors

Post by Sadpanda »

I'm having issues with dragging and moving apps between the two monitors (virtual screens) for Oracle Virtual Box. In the past I had an older Panasonic 65 inch TV that I used as a second monitor. Using that, I didn't have any issues with dragging and moving things between the TV and my laptop in either direction.

I have a new TV that I recently purchased - https://www.amazon.com/Sony-A80J-Inch-C ... 215&sr=8-3. I can now only move applications one way from my large screen TV down to my laptop. It will not allow me to drag and move the application back up to my large screen TV.

I've updated Oracle Virtual Box to 6.1.32. I've also reinstalled Guest Additions after getting the latest version for that. I've tried various settings for the Display Settings after extending the display in Windows. But, nothing seems to work.

Any ideas how to resolve?

I'm puzzled how to troubleshoot this one. Is the monitor layout in the VM the same as the host OS? Try moving the mouse on all borders of the small screen to see if the VM's large monitor has moved from where it used to be in the VM OS's monitor layout.
