UI elements off-screen at resolutions under 1920x1080?

[chrisgopher]

I regularly run at 1920x1080 @ 150% or at 1280x800 so that I don't have to squint or put on reading glasses. Running at these screen resolutions, UI elements such as "Next" and "Cancel" on some dialogs are not displayed. (I have a screen capture I can share once I have been a forum member for a day.)

Any workarounds? May be peculiar to my system but thought I would mention it.

1920x1080 / 150% = 1280x720.

Run the guest at 1280x720 max.

Pictures and zipped logs can be posted using the forum's Upload Attachment tab on the first day first post. Forum gurus won't go to third-party sites for logs and pictures.

If the above resolution change does not fix the off-screen problem, take a screenshot showing the guest missing the screen elements, with the guest screen-size dialog box visible, showing screen resolution, also the host screen-size dialog box visible, showing screen resolution and resize percentage. Crop and resize the picture to get under the forum's 128kB size limit, then post the picture file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Sorry, I was not clear. My issue is not with the Guest OS, it is with the VirtualBox application itself. I cannot import an OVA file without switching to 1920x1080 because I cannot see the UI options in the VirtualBox application.

Here's the screen capture:

Try the High DPI settings on C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox\Virtualbox.exe's right-click Properties, Compatibility tab.

Also, please resize hi-DPI images you intend to post with Upload Attachment so they fit into the forum page without lots of extra scrolling.
