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.

So based on this bug 1170509 it doesn't seem to be virt-manager or virt-viewer issue.

What is your system from which you are connecting to the host via SSH? If your system uses Wayland instead of Xorg the bug will be probably in Spice.

I was not able to reproduce it when connecting from system with Xorg, then I've tried Fedora 25 (where Wayland is the default) and I was able to reproduce it.
Comment 2 Pavel Hrdina 2017-02-08 16:57:48 UTC 
Based on this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170509 moving to spice-gtk component.
Comment 3 Pavel Grunt 2017-02-08 17:36:59 UTC 
thanks for the bug report

if client does not know what keymap is used (can be seen in debug "vnc-keymap-WARNING **: Unknown keycode mapping '(unnamed)'") then no keymap is used...

Anyway I don't think this (ssh from wayland to run a spice client) is supported, it has to be solved upstream first - i opened a bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99714 for it.
