Description
Hello!
I am working with the https://images.apertis.org/release/v2021dev3/v2021dev3.0/amd64/sdk/apertis_v2021dev3-sdk-amd64-sdk_v2021dev3.0.vdi.gz SDK which is based on the Debian 10 Buster distribution. I tried to enable the full screen mode on the same SDK by installing the v6.1.14 guest additions from Oracle https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.14/
After installing the same and on rebooting the SDK, it does not boot in the Full screen mode and instead the window shrinks.
I also performed the same operations on the Debian_10.1.0_VirtualBox_Image_LinuxVMImages.ova image https://www.linuxvmimages.com/images/debian-10/
The Debian VM starts with 6.0.14r133895 GA and fullscreen worked, then after upgrading to 6.1.14r140239 GA it is no more going to fullscreen and it boots with a smaller screen.
I will attach the log files for the same.

We have a solution for this. After the guest additions are installed reboot the SDK it will boot up with the small window only. Go to view and change to the full screen mode. It will load in full screen mode now.

It opens with the full screen mode in the older versions but in the newer one the user needs to perform the above steps
