I had restarted the host machine again, and tested the test version of VirtualBox 4.3.17 for the following two hours on a number of different VMs, and havn't experienced the nasty flicker. (Ubuntu 14.10). It's been apparently fixed. For reference, I use Intel HD 4000 as my graphic card.
Btw, VirtualboX 4.3.17 doesn't integrate its menu into Ubuntu Unity. The mini toolbar in VirtualBox 4.3.17 (full screen) looks beautiful. It used to have an ugly shadow right after I installed 4.3.16 in Ubuntu 14.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1353675 Title: _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS not handled correctly Status in Compiz: Fix Committed Status in Compiz 0.9.11 series: Triaged Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: PrivateWindow::setFullscreenMonitors() contains the following: CompRect fsRect (screen->outputDevs ()[monitors->left].x1 (), screen->outputDevs ()[monitors->top].y1 (), screen->outputDevs ()[monitors->right].x2 (), screen->outputDevs ()[monitors->bottom].y2 ()); However, the prototype is: CompRect::CompRect (int x, int y, int width, int height) This causes Compiz to miscalculate the dimensions of a full-screen window when the EWMH protocol _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS is used.
