Comment 2 Xiaodai Wang 2015-12-14 08:37:01 UTC

I can reproduce it with virt-viewer-2.0-7.el6.x86_64 with below steps:

1. Prepare a rhel6 spice guest, make the resolution can adjust automatically after changing the remote-viewer window size.
2. Drag the window to the left of the screen, make sure the left part of remote-viewer window can not be displayed.
3. Drag bottom right corner of the remote-viewer window to the very bottom right corner of the screen.

Actual Result:
Window width is set back.

Try it with virt-viewer-2.0-8.el6.x86_64 and the window width stay same.

So the bug is fixed and move it to verified.
