Comment 7 for bug 504368

I frequently relocate my VM displays. My host system's window manager is openbox. Normally, for moving any window about my screen, I utilize the ALT+left-click feature to drag the window about. This has the added benefit of ensuring I don't accidentally resize the window.

Most of my guests are Windows based at the moment. When the display scales it tends to remain the size of the booting splash screen.

I just tried some different methods of starting the VMs and dragging the displays about. If I'm performing an ALT+left-click drag when the display wants to resize it seems to switch to scaling instead. So, this may be part of it, but I am very certain I've seen the same result when simply starting the VM and not touching the display in any way.
