Public bug reported:
In a multi-monitor configuration, if the top edge of the RHS monitor is
positioned above that of the LHS one, Virtualbox is completely
unusuable. The manager is either blank or composed of artefacts, and if
starting the VM (eg from the command line) it too is completely
corrupted/unusuable.
Aligning the top edges of the monitors resolves this (but in my case one
is portrait and it needs to be higher). I am using Xorg but this also
exhibits on Wayland.
This seems new in 20.04 - I was using the same configuration on 19.10
without issues. So far no other software is affected, only Virtualbox.
