Windows 8 with Taskbar on Side

Post by wwiivehicles.com »

Host: Windows 8 Pro
Guest: Windows XP

When I have my Host's taskbar on the bottom (default position) and I go to resize a Virtual Box Guest, the resizing works just fine.

When I position my Host's taskbar on the left side of the screen and when I place the top of the Guest windows on the top edge of the screen and then try and drag the bottom edge of the Guest window to the bottom of my screen, the Guest windows "jumps" around and repositions itself to be located as if the Host's taskbar was still across the bottom of the screen leaving a blank area.

Anyone else see this?

No, I haven't. I always have the task bar on the left and have never seen that, and I have been running Win 8 as a VirtualBox host since the RTM release.
