Testing here (using rhel-7.2/f22 client connecting to rhel-7.2/f22 guest) and the only way to have the Alt+Tab handled by the client's Window Manager is when pressing Alt+Tab with the top menu (that contains the "Leave Fullscreen" button) focused. My setup has client 7.2 It doesn't depend on guest type. It is reproducible without invocation the menu at the top. Hmm. I take the comment 2 back, I _can_ reproduce it here and it's quite interesting :-) Every time you move the mouse from one display to another spice-gtk ungrabs the mouse and any keyboard event goes to the client's DE. I can easily reproduce it with just one remote-viewer window, windowed mode, vertically maximized (Alt + {right,left}, when using GNOME). Just move the mouse to the "guest's area" without do any click and then press Alt + Tab, same behavior. Andrei, does it happen with 6.7/rhevm clients as well? Can you check if it's a regression? As I said before, I am able to reproduce it and I am using upstream spice-gtk/virt-viewer. Proposed a patch upstream for spice-gtk: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2015-October/022793.html (In reply to Fabiano Fidêncio from comment #5) > Proposed a patch upstream for spice-gtk: > http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2015-October/022793.html Currently the keyboard grab (redirection of key events) is related to a SpiceDisplay (virt-viewer's window), we can make it related to the application (session). IE if mouse is over any window of virt-viewer and any virt-viewer's window has the focus, then key events should be redirected. To reproduce at step 4 (from comment 0) I 4. Move mouse pointer to one of displays and left-click in it. Fixed upstream: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk/commit/?id=143ebfdf275a7743ca4332dc526991f8bd95124a I cannot reproduce the bug with: spice-glib-0.26-7.el7.x86_64 spice-gtk3-0.26-7.el7.x86_64 virt-viewer-2.0-7.el7.x86_64 spice-glib-devel-0.26-7.el7.x86_64 Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Created attachment 1086440 [details] Example for Alt-Tab There is quite unpleasant behavior for fullscreen multi monitor setup. Particularly, Alt-Tab event goes to client's windowmanager. This can really confuse a user. Bug takes place in setup with 2 (or more) real monitors. Steps to reproduce: 1. Have a client with real two monitors. 2. Activate in virt-viewer additional monitors == real monitors. 3. Connect to VM with virt-viewer --full-screen Each virtual display should be positioned on real monitor. 4. Move mouse pointer to one of displays. Open a window. 5. Move mouse pointer to other display. Do not click mouse. 6. Press: Alt-Tab. Alt-Tab will be processed by client's WM. There is work around: always click with mouse as you move to another display. Nonetheless I find this behavior very annoying. See attached screenshot.
