Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-gtk3-0.35-7.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. in a VM with disabled vmport (<features><vmport state='off'/>) or USB tablet and vdagent not active, move mouse pointer consistently in one direction
2.
3.

Actual results:
mouse pointer leaves the widget

Expected results:
mouse pointer, wherever it is, should never apparently leave spice-gtk widget

This is old bug dating to earliest versions of spice-gtk, but the oldie spicec never suffered from it

Comment 1 Victor Toso 2019-02-12 09:52:09 UTC

Does not happen when running with x11 backend, that is, GDK_BACKEND=x11 remote-viewer ..
We will address wayland backend issues upstream and target is 8.1

Comment 2 David Blechter 2019-08-16 14:26:39 UTC

Wayland related issues where not addressed yet, moving to the backlog

Comment 3 Francesco Giudici 2020-05-11 09:44:33 UTC

Issue is due to lack of official, stable support in Wayland for pointer locking in the widget.
Wayland-protocols come to the rescue.. patch merged upstream:

Comment 4 Victor Toso 2020-05-20 10:24:56 UTC

Ongoing build, I'm setting ITR to 8.3.0 to get the release+
