RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Xiaodai Wang 2017-01-13 06:05:08 UTC
Description of problem:
Must Press 'ctrl+alt' to capture the cursor for VNC graphical guest

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.9.0-34.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a VNC guest without Tablet hardware.
2. Startup and login the guest's desktop.
3. Click the desktop and check the title of the guest is not changed.
4. Press "Alt+ctl".

Actual results:
After pressing "ctl+alt", the title of the guest window is changed to "Press Control_L+ALT_L to
relase pointer. xxxxx". And cursor is captured and cannot move out of the guest.

Expected results:
The cursor should be caputed by clicking the desktop of the guest in step 3.
And not captured by pressing "ctl+alt" in step4.


Additional info:
This doesn't occur on rhel7 host.

Comment 3 Pavel Hrdina 2017-01-13 13:54:48 UTC
This is not a critical issue that will prevent users to use virt-manager. Closing as WANTFIX.
