VM Crash when hovering optical media menu, with inaccessible media

[serpen]

Reproduce:

• Start VM
• Menu -> hover Optical media
• an last used optical media exists which is on an inaccessible/office n etworkstorage
• the vm freezes and crashes after some seconds
• if you leave vboxmanager open, a second try works,
• if you close it, its crashing again

The bug exists at least since v5.0

Its very annoying to me, I'm using a NAS-Box which shutdowns over night till i manually start it, when i start a vm beforce that and hover the menu by accident -> crash

e.g. ISO image on \NAS542\image\Win10.iso

I don't think I've seen this ever mentioned here or in the ​VirtualBox forums (where you should have posted your message first). I have several VMs that use an external ISO, located in a USB HD.

• If I launch VirtualBox and the USB HD is not there, it shows as inaccessible. Logico...
• If I remove the USB HD, it still shows in the Manager (logico), but it definitely doesn't crash when hovering over it.

When I render iso files (by deleting or moving) they disappear from the "recently used" optical media list. Do you mind mentioning your host/guest OSs?
