[solved] maximize window moves guest to primary monitor

Post by -james »

I Upgraded to 4.3.0 the other day,

Since the upgrade, if the guest is on monitor 2 and I maximize it, it moves to monitor 1. The frame is the correct size if it were maximized on monitor 2.

The behavior is consistent regardless of the guest OS. I'm running the host on a win7 64 Bit box.

if you have any thoughts or ideas on how to resolve, I would be grateful.

EDIT: This was resolved in release 4.3.2

I am also experiencing the same problem with v4.3 of VirtualBox, but with a different host - namely Windows Pro 8.1 64-bit.

Exact same behavior as observed on Windows 7.

I suspect something got bumped in the new build. I've reported the bug (Ticket #12268 ) hopefully this will be resolved in the next release.
