[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#766294: virt-manager: Cannot Exit Console Fullscreen Mode

[John Pearson]

I believe I'm seeing this bug in virt-manager 1.0.1 on Jessie.

My VMs are running on localhost, and I see this issue on two separate 
Debian 8 systems - one is running a Jessie VM under the free Nouveau 
video driver, and one running Windows 7 under the proprietary Catalyst 
driver.

Hovering the mouse where the pop-up *should* appear produces the 
occasional flickering view of the menu, but fleetingly and 
inconsistently; additionally, the mouse cursor "splits" - the VM's mouse 
cursor stops moving and the host's cursor appears when (I'm guessing) 
the pop-up should appear.  Hovering in the right place displays a tool 
tip "Leave Fullscreen", and clicking while that is visible does the 
right thing; so it looks like a drawing bug, more than anything else.

The problem appears to relate to using the "VNC" display server for 
accessing the VM - switching to using the "Spice" display server fixes 
the issue.

Regards,


John Pearson
