Hey Harry
That sounds like a version mismatch between guest tools and Host
Virtualbox. Can you make sure the guest has only the pkg provided
virtualbox extensions installed? And not the ones via ISO.
It's not, the problems are with the VirtualBox GUI, what happens inside
the (I hate trying to work out how to describe GUI parts!) OS screen, is
a symptom.
I run a bunch of virtual servers in VirtualBox, the current GUI is
misbehaving as Harry describes, but it's workable, and I'm not affected
by the garbled text in the client screen, because I just SSH into them
anyway. None of my guests have the guest tools installed at all,
because I'm not using the GUI I never bothered. I don't think it works
on NetBSD 5 guests anyway :)
I think Aurelian suggested it might be a mismatch with versions of some
GUI toolkit that VB uses vs OI?
I can't post an image to the list, AFAIK, to illustrate - which would
make it a lot easier to describe!
