Seamless Mode

[SquidLord]

It seems to be quite odd. I'm not entirely sure if it's perfected yet, so please bare with me. I'm using seamless mode with Ubuntu 9.10 x86 as a guest and Windows 7 Pro x64 as host; no windows opened on the guest have a title bar. I simply get the window with "File," "Edit," and so on. When I'm not using the full screened mode [where the guest is in it's own window], it doesn't seem to register that I'm not holding down left click when I go to highlight something.

Ideas?



[btw, for those who were helping me with my networking issue before, it was the Win7 RC that was causing all the issues. I tried VirtualBox again after installing the Win7Pro from my schools MSDN partnership site; everything's working great, except the above issue of course :3]

Are you running Compiz or boosted graphics in the guest when in seamless?
Try it without and see if it changes anything. There are some settings that you can tweak if this is the case. But generally in seamless mode the 3D effects cause me grief and since I stay in seamless mode Linux on Windows. I just stopped using that stuff. Can't see the eye candy in seamless anyway.

Ok, that fixed A LOT of problems. It's still a bit jittery with window movement, but it's also A LOT smoother while windowed and in all around use.
