GUI Problems on the new 5.0.x version

Post by Bobbix »

Virtualbox 5.0.12 (same on the 5.0.8 and 5.0.10 previosly installed).
Problem: entries lists of the small menu shown in the full-scrreen mode in Guests machine appair under the mouse pointer causing unwanted selections of the latest menu entry (pointed depending of the mouse-pointer position).
Ho to view the problem: In full screen mode, go to the bottom (or top if differently configured) and let's appair the small menubar, click on "File" and you get the answer if you want to power off the virtual machine.
It's why the menu list appair under your mouse pointer and releasing the click you select the unwanted option to close the virtual machine, accidentally pointed by the mouse.
Solution: VIRTUALBOX PROGRAMMERS have to change this behaviour returning at the original one (like all previous versions), placing the menu entry list up (not over) the small menu position when in full screen mode. Pheraps the software calculate the position starting on the initial state of the menubar? But when hidden? :o

Whenever a programmer change something, he should consider whether that change is worthwhile or whether it is even harmful .
Thanks. Good Work to all.
:D

Please leave feedback about new versions in the appropriate "Discuss the x.xx release" topic.

In this case that would be Discuss the 5.0.12 release.
