I can reproduce this on my system. The symptom is exactly like what Kevin Trickster said. By the way, one of my wine app also breaks, which might be related this bug. When VirtualBox is running and the app is fullscreen, the screen keeps flashing white, while this problem does not occur when VirtualBox is closed. Here are my system info: Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.9.10-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland I am having the same issue. I notice its worse when Firefox is open at the same time. I have been trying to capture a video of it for a while. It very frustrating the windows moving to the bottom on their own.

Forgot to add Plasma 6.1.3 Frameworks 6.4.0 QT 6.7.2 Kernel 6.9.10 It is a really distracting bug having the window moving to the bottom on its own. I have now disabled floating panel and all is well. I can reproduce it, I thought that changing the vbox to qt6 would solve it, but the same behavior continues. VirtualBox: 7.1.0r164728 Qt Version: Qt6.7.2 Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.10.9-zen1-2-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 Can you make a screencast showing the issue please? There's a high chance that this issue might have been fixed in 6.2 because there were some floating panel changes. Created attachment 174031 [details]
VirtualBox window "walking" when another window belonging to vbox touches and changes the state of the panel.
Aha, I see! I can reproduce it, thank you! I looked into the issue and it seems virtualbox moves itself by the amount of the titlebar height. My guess is that virtualbox uses the global window coordinates but it either mishandles reparenting window managers (kwin is one of them) or its _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS handling is broken. As a workaround, you could go to X11 session and create an "ignore requested geometry" window rule and then return back to Wayland session. https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/6488 makes the window rule visible when you're running Wayland session, so you don't need to switch between sessions back and forth. You could also disable window borders for oracle: right click the deco and select "no titlebar and frame" in "more actions". Could somebody report this issue to VirtualBox developers please? I don't think that we can do anything about it, VirtualBox asks KWin to be moved and the latter honors the request. *** Bug 494677 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Reported to VirtualBox as https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/22204. The 7.1.2 version has just been released, so even if it is for the next cycle, I do not know how fast a fix will come. |
