Ticket #16660, comment 8
v1 v2 3 3 It usually happens in fullscreen mode, yes. This is simply because I tend to have most of my vms running in fullscreen mode at all times. But see below. 4 4 5 It's good that you're asking - no, I'm not able to do anything. I can't open the menu and when I move the mouse to the top, the toolbar does not appear either. The window is dead and the fact that it's "transparent" (for the lack of a better term) can lead to confusion if you don't know that what looks like your desktop is actually a frozen VirtualBox window.5 It's good that you're asking - no, I'm not able to do anything.

I definitely used it a few times to suspend it (savestate). The last few times, I used the VirtualBox Manager gui, which is still able to work with frozen vms except it can't start them (start button disabled). … … 12 12 3 vms were affected, which indicates that this happens randomly. It's happening a lot recently, which makes working with VirtualBox difficult. 13 13 14 This time, one of the frozen vms was not running in fullscreen mode. That means that it has a window border and title, but otherwise it behaved just like the other frozen vms . I made a screenshot with this frozen vm on the right and another frozen vm in fullscreen mode on the left. Note that it's not black because the guest system turned off the screen, that's not the case. It's black because the host's screen was black (screensaver) before I saw this. Switching workspaces, which are blue in this case, made the window blue. That's what I meant by "transparent".14 This time, one of the frozen vms was not running in fullscreen mode.
