As for the QEMU "agent-mouse=off", I am using the GUI VirtManager 4.1.0 from Redhat, so I did not know how to do that. I searched Google a lot, and finally found an option in the LibVirt documentation page ( https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#graphical-framebuffers ). VirtManager's GUI does not have an option to add the setting, but after enabling XML editing, I selected "Display Spice" node in hardware details, and then added `<mouse mode="server"/>` like below. I succeeded in copy-and-pasting text from host to client. <graphics type="spice" port="5900" autoport="yes" listen="127.0.0.1"> <listen type="address" address="127.0.0.1"/> <image compression="off"/> <mouse mode="server"/> </graphics>
