VB not allowing me to link ISO to Optical Drive

After creating a new machine, I open my storage settings, click on the blue disk to the right of the SATA drop down and choose "Choose a disk file". This opens a new window, but absolutely nothing can be done, clicking anywhere on the window has no response, not the OK, not the cancel, not the drive select on the left....NOTHING.....except the "X" in the upper right corner to close the window.

Other areas that I have interacted with work fine.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, this last time was a total clean install on a total clean install of Manjaro. Virtual Box was the first program to be installed.

I have VB version 6.1.32 r149290 on Manjaro 53.15.32.

Am I missing something?

Help!?!?!

I solved my own issue. Instead of going into settings to get the ISO related to the optical drive, it should be done from the opening screen before you select the green start button.

In the storage section, right click on the empty drive, select "choose a file" and on the next window highlight your iso.

Glad you got things working! Strange that the other method didn't work, though; it's supposed to...
