Description of problem: When I build spice-gtk from upstream and use it in smoketest, copy/paste of images from client to guest fail with being unable to copy the images. The same tests pass from guest to client. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Built spice-gtk from latest upstream => spice-gtk 0.25.48-af73-dirty spice-gtk-python-0.22-7.el6.x86_64 spice-vdagent-0.14.0-4.el6.x86_64 spice-server-0.12.4-11.el6.x86_64 spice-glib-0.22-7.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.445.el6.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-15.el6.x86_64 spice-vdagent-0.14.0-4.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open guest with virt-viewer and spice-gtk (built from upstream) by LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib virt-viewer spice://localhost?port=5901 2. Copy any image from client 3. Open http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/browser/Editing_Paste_Image/ 4. Try pasting image using <Ctrl+v> 5. Image will not get copied 6. Try copying any image from guest 7. Open same webpage in client 8. Try pasting image using <Ctrl+v>. Image will get pasted. Actual results: Images gets copied from guest to client but not client to guest. Expected results: Image should get copied in both directions. Additional info:
I checked the commits and narrowed the failure to this commit. Copy-Paste images from client to guest fails after this commit and passes before this commit. commit a8f2e2d9906f9908ab6cae0b9c36d99e5b49d05d Author: Christophe Fergeau <cfergeau> Date: Tue Aug 12 16:17:16 2014 +0200 Ensure '\0' is not part of text clipboard data On Windows, with some versions of gtk+, GtkSelectionData::length will include the final '\0'. When a string with this trailing '\0' is pasted in some linux applications, it will be pasted as <NIL> or as an invisible character, which is unwanted. This commit ensures the length we send to the agent does not include any trailing '\0'. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1090122
(In reply to Swapna Krishnan from comment #0) > When I build spice-gtk from upstream Just a note for future bugs, bugs in the upstream codebase should be filed on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ Bugs in the Fedora component are for bugs you hit when using the fedora packages. Thanks a lot for bisecting it down to the faulty commit, this is really helpful in fixing it!
Fixed upstream in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk/commit/?id=43e3f6ea012236b1c3759a48b24026bdeff5d7e0 (and previous commit), will be in upcoming 0.26 release.
