Problem with display of the VM in program window

Post by thowi »

Hi there,

after installing latest GuestAdditions on my VirtualBox Win8 Guest, I have a problem with the VirtualBox Windows and the included Guest system. Please see the folowing picture for better understanding:

When resizing the Window, the problem gets much worse. Normally this wouldn't be a problem for me, but the mouse of the guest system is out of alignment. Using the mouse properly I gave to "guess" 5-10mm up the tip of the mouse arrow where the click will make an impact.

On my Win7 guest I don't have such a problem. So I thought it's about the installed GuestAdditions. So I reinstalled them - without any solution :(.
Are there any known bugs? Maybe someone here with same issues?

Thanks guys! Have a nice Sunday!
Cheers, thowi

If you have 3D acceleration enabled, try disabling it to see if that fixes it.

Yes!!! You're right. After disabling, everything's fine. So... 3D acceleration is buggy. Let's see if it'll be fixed in further updates.
