I know roughly what is preventing it (I would know exactly if I took a look at the code in question), but it is a matter of time versus the number of people who have reported that this is an issue for them - that is, only a couple of people so far. Obvi9ously since we also have issues which customers consider important I would rather spend my time there. That said, if you feel like playing with the code this may well be fixable with a reasonably effort, given that you are one of those few.

VirtualBox 4.2 uses Qt 4.7.3. I will have a look at that report you linked to. Regards, Michael -- ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.
