Hello, I am very sorry for bothering community on a such minor problem again, but I got no response for a few weeks, so maybe I have started thread on a wrong mailing list, so I made an issue in gitlab issue tracker: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2149 referencing this thread.
Maybe, it would help attract proper eyes to such a simple problem, so no one bothers in trying to fix it, albeit it lives in the codebase for some time already and is being copied around. Sincerely, Temir. сб, 13 янв. 2024 г. в 04:28, Temir Zharaspayev <mass...@gmail.com>: > Hello!
