Scaled mode provides a square window

Post by AlanL »

I give up. I have tried everything I can find and now I ask the community.

How do I get the guest window to display in its correct proportions whilst in scale mode? Presently, it is square in scale mode and dragging corners just makes the square bigger or smaller.

Host: 10.9.5
Guest: Win7 64-bit
Version: 4.3.22 r98236
Guest additions: VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.23-98282.iso

Right click on the guest in the main manager then left click on show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too big.

Look at the view setting and make sure that auto-resize is enabled and turn off the scaled mode.
Use the host+F toggle to go in and out of full screen and if it fills the area.

Thanks. I know how to change modes. Auto rescale is already selected.

That is not the behaviour that is described.
