Description
Hi,
My Specs;
Slackware 14.1 x86_64 - Host screen size 1920x1080 Virtualbox 4.3.24 - (compiled from source)
Slackware 14.1 x86_64 - Guest screen size 1920x965 Virtualbox 4.3.24 - (Guest Additions installed)
I noticed when I restart or shutdown Slackware, in the console, I am seeing the NUL character with a value of 0 that is represented as @ appear next to text on the screen.
I thought at first something in the Slackware system was causing this.
I was running the Guest with the default of 'Auto-resize Guest Display', this causes the console to have a small size, and it seems for some reason Virtualbox doesn't like it and creates the Nul Character, because if I change the Guest to 'Scaled Mode' it never appears.
I tested this several times changing back and forth with the 'Auto-resize Guest Dispaly' and 'Scaled Mode', and everytime it was on 'Auto-resize Guest Dispaly' it appeared, and everytime it was on 'Scaled Mode' it did not appear.
I'm attaching a screen shot, called vb_character.jpg, notice the line with the red dot I marked, to the far left the word; @Sending...
