I've also had this problem when running VirtualBox without 3D
acceleration switched on for the virtual machine.  Unfortunately, this
makes PCB largely unusable due to other GL-related problems -- all menus
and pop-up windows are hidden behind the main display and are inaccessibl=
e.

I run the virtual machine without 3D acceleration and keep a copy of PCB
built with GL disabled, which I use only for DRC checks.
