VBox 5 getting window height wrong

[Gary Palmer]

[ add cc of vbox at freebsd.org which is a better list for this I think ]

Hi,

Updating to the correct Guest Additions doesn't fix the issue.  Whether
GA is installed or not doesn't seem to make much difference to this problem

I've also changed from QT4 (which I was using) to QT5 with no change

Thanks,

Gary
