Description Ladi Prosek 2017-02-07 09:01:19 UTC

Description of problem:
When input events come to quickly, the driver may not be able to process all of them and they are dropped. This affects automated key presses generated by client software, for instance Ctrl+Alt+Del, which may consist of up to 6 events (Ctrl down, Alt down, Del down, Del up, Alt up, Ctrl up).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtio-win-131

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a Windows VM with -device virtio-keyboard-pci and -vnc
2. Connect to it using Remote Viewer
3. In Remote Viewer, go to the Send Key menu and select Ctrl+Alt+Del

Actual results:
Ctrl+Alt+Del is not received by the guest

Expected results:
Ctrl+Alt+Del is received
