Description

After upgrading from 4.3.16-95972 to 4.3.18 r96516 I'm facing a (for me) severe usage problem with seamless mode in combination with my multi-monitor setup.

MY SETUP

A laptop (15" 1600x900) with a large monitor (24" 1920x1200) as secondary monitor. I would run a Win guest on the large, secondary screen in seamless mode, so my Cinnamon taskbars & menus are on my laptop screen, my Win7 bar is on the bottom of my 2nd monitor.

THE PROBLEM

As of 4.3.18 the seamless mode mimics the height of the primary monitor (900px) though taking the whole width. Fullscreen mode still works as expected and takes up the whole secondary screen.

More oddly, in seamless mode the 900px frame is positioned somewhere in the middle of the screen giving my a flying taskbar and VBox Toolbar.

I always faced a problem that the VBox Toolbar menues appears with a vertical offset to the actual toolbar hover (something like 300px below). But I think this is rather a Gtk issue which I can tackle.

Downgrading restored the seamless mode for me.

Issue still present in 4.3.28-100309~Ubuntu~raring. I attached a screenshot illustrating the problem. It really makes the whole virtualbox unusable for me.
