Bug#958305: gnome-boxes: Mouse cursor offset in VNC boxes

[Bruno Kleinert]

Package: gnome-boxes
Version: 3.36.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

when I use GNOME Boxes to connect to a remote machine via VNC, the remote mouse
cursor is permanently a couple of pixels lower than the mouse cursor on my
local machine. This is irritating to work with, please see attached screenshot
for the exact offset.

Cheers,
Bruno
