Hi, I test this problem on the latest Debian sid, and I cannot reproduce this problem.
This is my software version: spice client: Debian sid virt-manager 1:1.4.0-6 virt-viewer 5.0-1 gir1.2-spice-client-glib-2.0 0.33-3.3 gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 0.33-3.3 libspice-client-glib-2.0-8:amd64 0.33-3.3 libspice-client-gtk-3.0-5:amd64 0.33-3.3 libspice-server1:amd64 0.12.8-2.2 spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper 0.33-3.3 vm server: Debian sid libspice-server1:amd64 0.12.8-2.2 qemu-system-x86 1:2.8+dfsg-7 libvirt0 3.6.0-1 vm: Debian sid: gnome 1:3.22+3 gdm3 3.24.2-3 libwayland-bin 1.14.0-1 Would you like upgrade your system to sid, and check if this problem still exist ? BTW: do you have any other DE installed, does it works correctly ? Thanks, -- Liang Guo
