Hi!

Thanks for your input. I updated to NVIDIA 455.38 and made an pkg update 
a few minutes ago,
and i want to share my experience here

I use the vbox gui all the time to use virtualbox.
- At first a very minor thing, but what i see is that the buttons of the 
vm list on the left do not always change the background color - some 
lower part is left unchanged.
- Secondly, if i boot up a XP, Win7, ubuntu vm i cannot see the stars of 
the password that i'm typing.
- In all VMs there is a small rectangle that is not rendered correctly 
(grayed/blued out) - the size looks like the shadow of the status bar, 
just above it. I an other case it was a honrizontal scroll bar above the 
status bar.
- All Ms show severe graphical updating problems - window minimize and 
maximize again 'repairs' it for a moment.
- All VMs have been updated vb additions.


Now i don't think that it has something to do with the video driver of 
the host.
As all problems show up inside of the vbox windows, it is somewhere in 
the graphics stack/subsystem/libs that vbox uses.

Maybe there an issue with QT 5.12 ?

pkg versions below.

Greetings,
Stephan
