Comment (by cypherpunks):

 I'm really confused. This may not be affecting just VirtualBox

 I realized that when I tested with Tor Browser 7.0a1, this problem went
 away. Then I tried extracting a new Tor Browser 6.5 on my main Windows
 system and realized resizing didn't work there too, i.e. not VirtualBox.
 Apparently I have been using a user.js file that includes
 user_pref("extensions.torbutton.resize_windows", true);

 I don't even remember when I added that line, but apparently resizing was
 not working and this has fixed it for me.

 So I found the problem, when I install stable 6.5,
 extensions.torbutton.resize_windows is set to false by default however
 when I install 7.0a1 it is set to true by default

 However I have no idea how many people is affected by this and for how
 long
