Comment 2 Gerd Hoffmann 2018-08-16 07:06:44 UTC 
It's SPICE_CURSOR_TYPE_MONO.  /me looks surprised that windows actually used that.  These days SPICE_CURSOR_TYPE_ALPHA is common ...

Message comes from local renderer, used for screendumps and vnc server.  screendumps have no cursor anyway.  So this only has a visible effect in case one runs qxl with vnc, which is not recommended anyway.  Also not a regression.

Setting to low priority, moving to 7.7.
Comment 4 Peter Wu 2018-09-03 14:49:31 UTC 
I ran into this as well, not just with VNC but also GTK. The AND mask ('mask') and XOR mask ('image') respectively for the affected cursor:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////8=
AAAAAAAAAAAB3AAAACAAAAAgAAAAIAAAACAAAAAgAAAAIAAAACAAAAAgAAAAIAAAACAAAAAgAAAAIAAAACAAAAAgAAAB3AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=

I'll post a patch to the qemu-devel list.

Comment 6 Gerd Hoffmann 2018-11-27 09:46:02 UTC 
upstream commit 36ffc122dcd69ab66db4afab3a13cfca46bfc323 (qemu 3.1)
Comment 7 Ademar Reis 2018-12-21 22:11:20 UTC 
Given this is a low priority with minimal impact, I'm closing this as NEXTRELEASE. It'll be included after a rebase in RHEL8, soon enough.

Peter Wu: thanks for the upstream patch.
