Hi, thats a cool feature. But it actually does not work here. Resizing the window just resizes the window itself and make scrollbars appear. Do I need to configure something? Or something older guest additions install scripts are missing? My guest additions installation script is based on the 1.5.2 one.
I tried to remove the display subsection, no effect at all. Host+G has also no effect(expect that I'm not able to resize the window until I press it again).
