Missing option "Restore snapshot" when closing VM in VBox 7

[LaurentG]

When closing a VM, if the 3rd option ("Stop VM") there were (up to v6) a check box allowing to restore the latest snapshot.

This option is VERY useful. But it does not exist any more in V7

This is a HUGE regression. All explanations provided in the forum are FALSE and bad reasons. In particular, the "security concern" (some people are supposed to have restored the latest snapshot and then have lost data) is A LOT MORE SERIOUS with the suggested "workaround" (extradata "GUI/DiscardStateOnPowerOff") that is, contrary to the check box, not visible from user in GUI.

Until this option is restored, I removed Vbox 7 and returned to Vbox 6.1.40

I know very well that this new ticket will be soon closed as "duplicate" of several other ones, but I nevertheless decided to create it to be one more voice claiming that this change is a serious error done by dev team that MUST be repaired !

Duplicate of #21189 (no idea why you felt the need to create a new ticket when you commented on the original one already, just creates more noise in the developer's mail inboxes...)

If there is more noise, maybe they'll better understand up to which extend this (undocumented....) evolution has been an error....

Opening duplicate tickets just gets us more annoyed. ;) It takes up resources to find those duplicates and makes the public bugtracker an even bigger mess. Adding a +1 to #21189 is enough. We are aware of the issue and are thinking about possible solutions. Can't say how the solution will look like and when it will happen right now because of approaching holiday season.
