you should definitely map [LEFTMEAT] to [BBQ]. ;-)

No. The resize mechanism of the window manager is quick. You can see it
when resizing a terminal window. I suspect the problem lies in our
console backend of VirtualBox. I remember that the resizing was much
smoother in VirtualBox 4. With version 5, this console infrastructure
changed completely.

Just speculating, we may miss to inject a virtual interrupt once the
screen mode changes. So the guest additions detect the change eventually
(e.g., when getting an interrupt for another event) but not immediately.
But that is just a guess.

Cheers
Norman
