Description Tomas Jamrisko 2013-10-09 15:20:39 UTC

Description of problem:
The cursor becomes invisible instead of changing shape when hovering over input fields (windows 8 client, windows guest) 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mingw-virt-viewer-0.5.6-6

How reproducible:
Always 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to a windows guest
2. Open notepad/anything that is supposed to have text input
3. Position your cursor over it

Actual results:
The cursor becomes invisible

Expected results:
it should change shape to the "I"

Additional info:
Works well on other clients (both RHEL and Windows)

Comment 1 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-10-09 15:27:12 UTC

client doesn't provide any warning? Can you get the SPICE_DEBUG=1 log please.

Comment 2 Tomas Jamrisko 2013-10-09 15:34:17 UTC

only the warning about automount-inhibiting implementation not available. 
There's nothing else on cmd nor in event log

Comment 3 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-10-09 15:39:45 UTC

ah, then this is likely going to be a gtk+ bug on win8. It would be surprising that noone else hit that.

Comment 4 Tomas Jamrisko 2013-10-09 15:47:07 UTC

Well, it changes over URL input field before any connection actually takes place...

yeah, but that's a local gtk+ or local windows cursor.

I guess the customer cursor path could be broken.

Comment 6 Tomas Jamrisko 2013-10-10 08:17:58 UTC

So, it's not really invisible, it appears that way on white background.
It's actually ocmposed of white and transparent pixels only. Each line one pixel wide.

Anyway started it wit --spice-debug and:

Comment 7 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-10-10 11:23:32 UTC

That is probably related to the putty change in 998529.

What happen with previous release of mingw-virt-viewer?

Comment 8 Tomas Jamrisko 2013-10-10 11:42:20 UTC

Works with 0.5.6-5, so looks like you're right.

Comment 9 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-10-10 11:58:33 UTC

I propose closing as duplicate of 1002697, and reopening there. Perhaps we should revert the change?

I guess the issue happens not only with win8 clients.

Comment 11 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-10-10 12:29:21 UTC

Tomas, is it really only with win8 client?

Comment 12 Tomas Jamrisko 2013-10-10 12:42:33 UTC

I wasn't sure about Windows 7 as I had only a VM as client, but tried in on a physical client and the Cursor appeared white and dotted as well. So it's not windows 8 exclusive -> It happens on all of them.
