[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#865633: can't drag windows or click "Activities" in GNOME 3 guest

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: virt-viewer
Version: 5.0-1
Severity: serious


I recently updated a Debian system, here are the new and old versions of
each package from dpkg.log

upgrade virt-viewer:amd64 1.0-1 5.0-1
upgrade virt-manager:all 1:1.0.1-5 1:1.4.0-5
upgrade spice-client-gtk:amd64 0.25-1+b1 0.33-3.3
upgrade libspice-client-glib-2.0-8:amd64 0.25-1+b1 0.33-3.3
upgrade libspice-server1:amd64 0.12.5-1+deb8u4 0.12.8-2.1


I connected to an existing session where GNOME 3 is running in a guest
and I found that I can't drag and drop the windows any more and I can't
click the "Activities" control.  Clicking other things on the top-bar
(e.g. the clock) behaves normally.

I am connecting over ssh

Is this a known problem?

I had another system running stretch since about 6 months ago.  It was
actually working fine on that system last time I checked (about a month
ago).  That system was fully upgraded yesterday and I notice today it
has the same bug too.

I also tried the spicy client instead of virt-viewer, it has the bug too.
