Package: virt-viewer Version: 11.0-3+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When a QEMU guest without spice-vdagent runs on a VM with virtio-vga, the guest doesn't receive mouse input. (Tested on Debian Sid as the guest.) This behavior confuses remote-viewer connected to it through SPICE; when the cursor enters a focused remote-viewer window (i.e. the window is the top window), the cursor disappears, and it doesn't reappear even after mouse movement. To make the cursor usable again, pressing Shift+F12 does *not* suffice. (However, in some cases, it may be necessary to press Shift+F12 before carrying out the following step.) To ungrab the cursor, one needs to unfocus the remote-viewer window. (This can usually be done by pressing the Windows key.) However, this issue does not manifest when the guest runs spice-vdagent; in that case, the cursor can be moved and can exit the window. Nor does this issue happen when remote-viewer is connected to a VM with QXL graphics; the host cursor disappears when it enters the remote-viewer window, but it can exit the window. Interestingly, VMs with QXL can receive mouse input even without running spice-vdagent, unlike VMs with virtio-vga. Host system information generated by reportbug is attached. I experience this bug on KDE Plasma on Wayland. Best Regards, Samuel Plavec
