Hey Frediano,
Glad you found the bug, but a bit puzzled by the explanation. Three things confuse me: - You seem to imply that self_bitmap and QXL_DRAW_COPY don’t make sense together, but it’s not clear from the description why not, and looking at the code, it was not entirely obvious to me. Naively, I’d think it might make sense to use image caching during copies, e.g. to repeat patterns. But I can’t say I really understand that whole “self_image” stuff. - Why does it reduce network optimizations? Do you mean to say that it makes them less effective (but then I don’t understand why) or, more likely, that it causes a lot of additional traffic (but then I’m not sure why? Just sending unnecessary bitmaps, or something worse? A bit unclear to me. - Based on not really understanding the above two, I don’t understand why the problem would be specific to QXL_DRAW_COPY (except if the Win10 driver only has a bug with that specific operation).
