Description
upgraded virtualbox 5.1.26 on xubuntu 16.04.3 to version 5.1.28, and upgraded guest additions simultaneously on Win7 64-bit Guest. Noticed that Teamviewer 12 started crashing ("TeamViewer 12 has stopped working") intermittently, but most often when manipulating TV controls and reliably when ending the TV session. Bringing Windows patches up-to-date and updating Teamviewer had no effect.
I have another VM with Teamviewer as an "emergency spare" (both machines were cloned from a common ancestor). I did not update the guest additions (remained at 5.1.26), and the same (non-updated) version of TeamViewer worked as normal. Immediately after updating the Guest Additions to 5.1.28, and re-connecting with the same remote Teamviewer host, Teamviewer began crashing as on the other VM.
