When a spice-client hotkey was set to Ctrl+Alt, users were unable to send, using Sticky-Alt, a Ctrl+Alt+key key sequence to a guest. That prevented various functionality such as switching focus to the console or setting keyboard shortcuts. This bug has been fixed and users can send the client a key sequence with Ctrl and Alt keys using Sticky-Alt even if a spice-client hotkey is set to Ctrl+Alt.

It seems the problem is that pressing ctrl releases the sticky-alt. I've tried to reproduce this with the 0.7.2 X11 client and it works fine for me. Also this is all handled on the client side, so it working when connecting to a RHEV-2.2 host, and not when connecting to a RHEV-2.3 host seems weird. Closing this as works for me. Please re-open with some more detailed information (such as indicating package versions on all 3 of guest, host and client) if you are still seeing this. You are aware of the use of sticky alt to send special key combis like this ? Keep alt pressed until an ALT icon overlay shows in the center of the client then press ctrl + key to send alt + ctrl + key. Reproduced again My setup is: spice-client-0.8.0-1.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.149.el6.x86_64 Guest == win7x32 with ic104 guest tools ^ -- Connected trough UserPortal from RHEVM 2.3 (4.6.0.276) ^ -- spice-server-0.7.3-2.el6.x86_64 Same happens with rhel6 guest. Sticky alt is released right after ctrl is pressed. I've been debugging this some more on my local F-14 installation. I've replaced my qemu and spice-server packages with those from RHEL-6.1 but I still cannot reproduce this using a local vm. Next I tried both with and without an agent, no success again. So either this is something on the host (I can reproduce by connecting to rhevm23.spice.lab...) outside of qemu + spice-server, or more likely IMHO, this is something in the way how RHEV-M invokes qemu / sets up the connection (ssl versus plain ?) between spice-server and spice-client. lkocman, can you please try to reproduce this using a locally hosted vm rather then by connecting to rhev-m? It might be a good idea to try and mimick the rhev-m qemu invokation as much as possible. I'll go debug the client against rhevm23.spice.lab... tomorrow. Works for me on a RHEL-6 host with (modified/development) spice-server and qemu-kvm and with RHEL-6.1 guest and win764 (not sure about tools), not using rhev-m. spice-server-0.8.0-1.el6.x86_64 -- modified (probably unrelated changes) qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.149.el6 -- modified (probably unrelated changes) spice-client-0.7.3-1.el6.x86_64 As hansg said it seems to be spice-server or qemu specific: so are you able to reproduce it with spice-server-0.7.3-2.el6.x86_64 and qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.149.el6.x86_64? Ok, so after a day of trying with various versions to reproduce this, I can only reproduce it when RHEV-M is involved, further debugging has shown that the cause is that RHEV-M now sets the spicec hotkeys (through the XPI) to be ctrl+alt for release cursor (and no other hotkeys for ie fullscreen). This is also the cause of bug 683823. But unlike with 683823 in this case we can do something, as we can at least make sure that sending ctrl + alt + other-key still works using sticky-alt. I've a patch for this: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/commit/?id=9d204f8b74c8fbcc6a508f956e9c483e98ce653d Devel-acking. New version with the patch fixing this in build, moving to modified.
