Hi,

Ever since upgrading from vbox 4 (which had occasional window placement
or size issues, but nothing serious), vbox 5 has consistently had a problem
where on starting a VM the window height is always reset to a fraction of
what it should be.  If I size the window properly by hand, and then select
View -> Adjust Window Size it goes back to the wrong size again.

Anyone else seen this?

With Win10 it's worse - unless I maximise the window it keeps getting reset
to the wrong height, I think by communication with the additions installed
in the client.

virtualbox-ose-5.1.22_1        General-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware
virtualbox-ose-kmod-5.1.22     VirtualBox kernel module for FreeBSD

10.3-RELEASE-p18

Thanks,

Gary
