Guest Window title bar inaccessible

Hi,

This is more of an annoyance, but frequently my guest window (in windowed mode, obviously) is displaced upward so the title bar is no longer visible -- and I can't reach it to move the window. It seems to be matching 0,0 of the window contents to 0,0 of my monitor.

My host system is Fedora 9 x86_64, VB 2.02 64-bit.

This has happened to at least a couple of different guests, and now they're stuck like that every time I run them.

Is there any way to prevent this, or at least to reset it to normal window behavior?

Thanks

Maybe it'll help if you change the following in your machine configuration .xml (stored in ~/.VirtualBox/Machines/MachineName):

Code: Select all

<ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastWindowPostion" value="X,Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT"/>

If it's the VBox GUI window where your VM runs in, you can use a key combination and the left mouse button (default could be Ctrl+Alt+Left mouse button) to move the window from any position. You have to grab something of the window, like the menu bar or statusbar.

If it's in the Guest, this should not happen and is more considered as an OS issue on that part.
