New Space for VirtualMachine

Hello VB Friends,

I installed Virtualbox 5.0.2 on an iMac and for some reason when I start the virtual machine it doesn't make it's own space. It only takes over the space it started on, which, unfortunately, is blocks the programs I'm using on the Mac side and I can't access them at until I make another space and move it over. I am using ElCapitan with the latest Beta.

Is there an option in VirtualBox to create a new space?

Any ideas on why Virtualbox doesn't create it's own space (desktop)?

1. OSX 10.11 is not a supported Host.
2. In the View Menu, If you use "Enter Full Screen" instead of "Full-screen Mode (Host+F)" a guest will create it's own Space.
3. VB 5.0.4 is the current release.

There is a section for OSX pre-releases: VirtualBox on Mac OS X pre-releases

thank you for the info. When I posted it, 5.0.2 was the current release. Either way, it's the same on both.
Your information will help me get set up and be able to send in reports.
thanks!
