Seamless mode bug?
Posted: 17. Mar 2010, 17:43
I tried out seamless mode yesterday I was completely blown away by how brilliant it integrated with my desktop. Unfortunately though, after a little while of inactivity, VirtualBox sucked up all my CPU and my guest OS became unresponsive. After sending the shutdown signal many times I managed to turn it off. After booting back up, seamless mode has never worked the same again. 
When I switch to seamless mode, a small part of my guest OS flashes in the top left hand corner but then disappears completely. I then see nothing and therefore can't interact with it. When I switch back, it goes back to window without any problems.
Here's my set up:
