I believe i can confirm this on Hardy with Virtualbox 1.5.6. I don't use MS Word myself, but Adobe Photoshop CS3 exhibits similar behaviour. Usually the window in question whitens out and displays a "not responding" text, though i can 'revive' it by opening a new Windows Explorer instance. In rare cases (about 1 in 10), resizing the guest window brings it back online.
I am using Shared Folders on the Hardy host which i think might have a role in the time out / not responding. -- VirtualBox freezes, unfreezes after window resize https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193224 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
