1. If the window of VM Manager has been maximized and then restored, VM Manager does not remember its restored window size between restarts.
VirtualBox.xml stores the bounds of maximized window instead of the restored window in ExtraDataItem "GUI/LastWindowPosition".
[Mod edit: Split into a different topic, VM Manager does not remember its restored window size (#16830)]

2. Cannot ping between host and guest through bridged network with NDIS6 driver
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14457
Reinstalling VirtualBox with NDIS5 driver resolves this issue.

3. "--target-directory" option of "VBoxManage guestcontrol" requires file path instead of directory path.

4. Documentation errors in subcommands "run" and "start" of "VBoxManage guestcontrol".
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08. ... estcontrol
"--exe <path to executable>" is not compulsory.
Examples are wrong.
"start Executes a guest program until it completes." is wrong.
"start" subcommand executes a guest program and returns before it completes.

Should I reply to existing tickets and create new tickets for non-reported issues?

1. I haven't tested that one, but if you think it's reproducible, go for it.

2, 3. The tickets are still open, you could add yourself to the notification list by posting a "me too", unless you have something to add.

4. I haven't tested that one, but if you think it's reproducible, go for it.

Kudos for the legwork and for finding the existing tickets!
