Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Cause: when the connection from the virtualization host to the VNC client is slow, the guest may miss clicks and movements of a virtual USB pointing device. Consequence: some operations on graphical user interfaces, including dragging and double clicking, are impossible to perform in presence of a slow network connection. Fix: virtual USB pointing devices buffer the user's clicks and movements. Result: dragging and double clicking works as intended.

Description Paolo Bonzini 2010-12-22 08:29:15 EST

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #665017 +++

qemu doesn't enqueue mouse events, it just records the latest mouse state. This can cause some lost mouse double clicks if the events are not processed fast enough.  In particular, dragging/doubleclicking are impossible on a high latency connection (e.g. Milan->Phoenix->Brno).

I'll post patches to upstream QEMU to fix this, based on these xen-unstable qemu.git patches:
