Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.2.16-dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I had a perfectly working VirtualBox setup running a Windows 7 client. At some
point over the last month or so, after an upgrade I have significant screen
corruption making it hard to use the client (for instance, when writing an
email in Outlook, one cannot read the currently typed line until forcing redraw
by going up and down).
I'm not sure if this is fully a VirtualBox issue, but I'm not seeing any such
corruption in the native Gnome environment.
Thank you for your work on this package,
CT.
