Using Paratext8 via VirtualBox

Question

Does anyone in this community use Paratext in the Oracle VirtualBox virtual machine?
I am using it on an iMac with OSX 10.14.6.
I am curious if others have problems with a setup like this.
I suspect this is a VirtualBox problem

There are severe screen rendering problems. For example:
1. The “Find” window does not render properly and it difficult to locate the boxes to enter data.
2. It is possible to move (accidentally) the paratext screen outside of the VirtualBox window,
partially or completely. This shouldn’t happen but when it does, the click points remain in their original position, not in the moved window.

Answer 1

I’ve used Paratext in Virtualbox and I have not seen these problems. I usually use the “scaled” view where all of WIndows appears like an app on my Mac. Which view are you using?

Thanks that helped with displaying the Find screen. However, It is still possible to click/hold on the Paratext Banner at the top of the screen and move the Paratext window outside of the Wasta window!
