Bug Description
I installed Kubuntu 20.10 in VirtualBox. It is not possible to set the initial resolution (800x600) to a higher one. If you do so, the screen resolution changes back to 800x600 after 1-2 seconds.

- Screen resolution not possible (AMD/VirtualBox) + Screen resolution change not possible (AMD/VirtualBox) |
Sounds like some kind of feedback bug. Maybe it's resetting itself because it's prioritizing manual window resizing.
Can you just resize the VM window instead?
