Bryan, IMHO it has nothing to do with vdagent, but virt-viewer. On shutdown or reboot of the guest, vdagent closes virtio-serial which causes virt-viewer (via message from server) to switch from "client mouse" to "server mouse" (captured) mode. Please change component accordingly. (In reply to comment #0) > Steps to Reproduce: > 1. Connect to a Windows 7 guest > 2.

This is normal behaviour, when the agent goes away, the mouse is grabbed in "server mode" (unless you have qxl & usb tablet iirc) I am not sure auto-grabbing is the most sensible thing to do, but not grabbing would be equally anoying (ex: stop agent would release the grab, so mouse would be "frozen" until you click/grab again). > Expected results: > The mouse should auto-release from virt-viewer If the agent would be around longer during shutdown, it wouldn't be visible, or it would be as visible as RHEL guest.

Mouse won't be "frozen", but simply ungrabbed and free for use outside of virt-viewer, which seems ok for me, but PM can advise us here. > > > Expected results: > > The mouse should auto-release from virt-viewer > > If the agent would be around longer during shutdown, it wouldn't be visible, > or it would be as visible as RHEL guest. It can't be around longer, as it's unusable & invisible during the shutdown screen even in desktop windows. It also cannot be emulated by vdagent in this stage. I think this BZ should move to virt-viewer (as RFE?). (In reply to comment #2) > Bryan, IMHO it has nothing to do with vdagent, but virt-viewer.

Please change component accordingly. Yeah sorry about that. We weren't sure what component this fit. We thought maybe it could be rhev-agent needs to tell virt-viewer to release the cursor or, as you're saying, this is expected virt-viewer behavior so maybe we do need to move the component. Can I leave this up to you since I don't know where in the code this is defined?

Well, I would imagine that if vdagent stops, the user probably shut down the VM or the service and we should release the mouse cursor. The user can click back inside the Window if they really want. I think the shutdown scenario, and thus the user wants the mouse cursor back on their client, happens way more often than the user wanting the cursor to stay grabbed, right? > If the agent would be around longer during shutdown, it wouldn't be visible, > or it would be as visible as RHEL guest. I think we just need to change the default behavior to "release mouse if vdagent is shut down or dies". As long as the virt-viewer window is still in focus, the user's keystrokes enter into the guest. Set as RFE, updated component and summary, as it has nothing to do with vdagent.
