The problem is that many apps don't consider what happens when they're run on low-resolution displays - their authors never thought to test them at 640x480, for e.g. So they assume there will always be enough space to render a window with no scroll bars that's over 480 or over 600 pixels in height, which is not always the case. I've seen many instances of this myself when I used to use a system with a 1024x480 display. It's nothing to do with VirtualBox per se, VBox just happened to expose him to such an environment. There are other ways to get it too (viz, netbooks). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
