Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

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 13:29:15 UTC
+++ 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:
