Description of problem: I usually run Live images from the commandline with: qemu-kvm -m 1024 -vga qxl -usb -localtime -k en-us -boot d -cdrom live-image.iso With F20 it seems that "-vga qxl" makes the mouse behaviour very strange. Basically it is impossible to bring the mouse pointer into the qemu guest console after one has clicked once: then the pointer is pushed out of the top/left of the console window and all attempts to move it back in reflect it back out again repeated making mouse actions impossible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qemu-kvm-1.6.1-3.fc20.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-3.fc20.x86_64 kernel-3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run F20 qemu using qxl on a Live image. 2. Move mouse pointer into qemu console 3. Click mouse 4. Try to use mouse in the guest session. Actual results: 2. No mouse pointer visible in console until one clicks mouse 3. Pointer jumps out of console to left or top of qemu window. 4. Impossible to use mouse in qemu guest under qxl vga. Expected results: 4. Mouse to work with qxl as it did under F19. Additional info: This doesn't happen under virt-manager's qemu configuration so that is why I am reporting this against qemu. Before clicking the mouse, the pointer seems to move in and out of the window normally but it is not visible and has no effect (highlighting etc) on the desktop. After one click the pointer jumps roughly like this: (0,y) -> (-200,y+200) (x,top) -> (x-200,top+200) (right,y) -> (~y-200,top+200) (x,0) -> (-200,~x+200)
Reproduces with qemu.git as well. Seems specific to the gtk frontend, using -sdl is a workaround for now.

mark, what you are describing sounds like a completely different bug. please file a new report and provide: sudo virsh dumpxml $vmname what distro is running in the VM? what distro is running on the VM host/ what distro is running on the client
