QEMU has been recently split into sub-components and as a one-time operation to avoid breakage of tools, we are setting the QEMU sub-component of this BZ to "General". Please review and change the sub-component if necessary the next time you review this BZ. Thanks

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.

Comment 6 Guo, Zhiyi 2021-08-03 06:41:52 UTC

This issue is indeed not reproducible with below packages:
qemu-kvm-6.0.0-24.module+el8.5.0+11844+1e3017bd.x86_64
virt-viewer-9.0-10.el8.x86_64

VM used is rhel8.5 VM with 4.18.0-325.el8.x86_64

Both de and fr has been tested and no such issue happen now.
