Slide between Mac and VirtualBox fullscreen GREY SCREEN

Hello VirtualBox Community,

I loved having VirtualBox on my Mac with a Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 client, but after the update 4.3.16 it's becoming a pain in the @ss. :|

Before the update, I usually ran my VM in fullscreen and all I had to do to switch between Mac OS X and Windows, was slide 4 fingers to left and right, to switch between windows. After updating to 4.3.16, when I do that towards the fullscreen windows, it's simply a grey screen as seen here: puu.sh/bBEWS/73b09e91af.png
and it quickly slides back into the Mac OS X by it self. I have to click the icon puu.sh/bBF0G/94641148c0.png to slide over to the Windows.

I'm running Mac OS X version 10.9.4 and VirtualBox Guest Additions have also been updated in the VMs.

Please let me know if you need any other information.

Kind regards,
Thomas

I am experiencing the same issue, same Mac OS X version.

If I click on the icon in the dock, I get the VM fullscreen and I can swipe away (the 3 or 4 finger slide), but if I swipe back, I get to the grey screen.

If I have two VMs open, there is one grey screen for each VM. I can slide between grey screens, but sometimes OS X throws me back to the main screen too. I can also swipe past the grey screens to other fullscreen apps which are working fine.

Exactly same experience, at least I'm not alone then! Bugtracker? I'm new here, but a long time user of VirtualBox.

I'm in the same boat. Bugtracker I guess, but I've never used that either - can you post back a link to it when you've submitted it so I (and anyone else) can follow that? Thanks!

I have created the following ticket: 13411 (I can't post links as I haven't been here long enough)
