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.

2.connect to VM desktop in full screen mode(use remote-viewer with -f option, this way can make issue been observed more easily)
3.move mouse cursor at gdm login screen

Actual results:
After step 3, can see a remnant of mouse cursor will be left under the bottom right

Expected results:
No remnant of mouse cursor is left

Additional info:
After moving mouse cursor for some seconds, the remnant will disappear.

Comment 1 Gerd Hoffmann 2019-08-01 09:10:53 UTC
qemu stdvga has no hardware cursor support, so rendering the cursor is completely in the hands of the guest, so clearly not a qemu bug.

Most likely the guests software cursor support is buggy.  Not sure which component is at fault though.  Assigning to gdm for investigation.

Comment 2 Guo, Zhiyi 2020-07-22 01:01:26 UTC
This bug is still able to be reproduced on rhel 8.3 with 4.18.0-226.el8.x86_64 and gdm-3.28.3-20.el8.x86_64
Gnome session is wayland

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2020-07-22 20:22:06 UTC
likely a mutter bug, reassigning.

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2021-02-01 07:41:49 UTC
After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.

Comment 7 Guo, Zhiyi 2021-02-02 06:45:02 UTC
Well, I can still reproduce this issue qemu-kvm-5.2.0-4.module+el8.4.0+9676+589043b9.x86_64..

But I also agree with the priority/Severity of this bug as this looks like a minor mouse rendering issue and seems customer havn't complained this. So I think it's safe to close this bug as won't fix
