Description Vimal Patel 2013-11-12 16:12:08 UTC

Description of problem:
Leaving the remote-viewer window idle in windowed mode for an extended period of time (around an hour), and then coming back to the remote-viewer window of the VM, and attempting to go to full screen fails (It doesn't match the resolution of the client, instead it retains its current resolution and adds black bars to the top and bottom).

qxl arbitrary resolution change of changing resolution when changing the window size in windowed mode still works, but on full screen resolution does not change to match the clients resolution. Spice-vdagent behavior of copy and paste still works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Testing Configuration:
Client: RHEL 7  RHEL-7.0-20131106.n.1

virt-viewer-0.5.7-2.el7.x86_64
usbredir-0.6-5.el7.x86_64

Guest: RHEL 6.5 RC1.2
spice-vdagent-0.14.0.2-el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.0-7.el6.x86_64

Host: RHEL 7  RHEL-7.0-20131106.n.1
spice-server-0.12.4-3.el7.x86_64
libvirt-1.1.1-11.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-13.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100% of my attempts (3)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Normally use a 6.5 VM using a RHEL7 client & host
2. Leave it idle for an hour
3. Go back to using the VM and try to bring the VM to full screen

Actual results:
Resolution does not change from the windowed resolution, and the VM is show in full screen with black bars at the top and bottom of the window

Expected results:
When going to full screen, resolution matches the client's resolution, and there are no black bars seen

Comment 4 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-08-14 19:01:04 UTC

Can you still reproduce this? I frequently leave my client idle, and never noticed such issue. If you can, please provide spice-vdagent log. Thanks
