Seamless Mode Freezes OS X

Post by joewfvl »

Just updated to 5.1.18 r114002 Also updated Guest Additions. Also re-installed Guest Additions.

When in seamless mode, OS X apps are frozen. E.G., while VirtualBox running Windows 7 is open and in Seamless Mode, OS X Chrome stays open, but "Greyed Out." Clicking on it produces NO reaction - cannot drag Chrome window, cannot click buttons in Chrome window. Same with OS X Text Edit, iTunes, and the VirtualBox Startup window.

  1. Moving this to "OSX hosts" from "OSX guests". You're not running an OSX guest, you're on an OSX host and you're running a Win7 guest. Actually all guests that can run seamless have this.
  2. Known issue: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16246
