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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #845517 +++

Description of problem:

Connecting to a VM with vdagent running and trying to zoom in beyoned normal size results in a frantic behaviour where the window tries to resize itself, and vdagent tries to fit the new window size. After a few iterations  virt-viewer window ends up smaller, guests resolution decreases, and vdagent wins by keeping 1:1 pixel ratio

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.2-9.el6.i386
virt-viewer-0.5.2-9.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.11-11.el6_3.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to a VM with vdagent
2. Increase guests resolution at least 1280x720
2. Zoom In
  
Actual results:
(see description)

Expected results:

Virt-viewer windows increases its size, VM retains its original resolution

sent a proposed fix on the ML

https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2012-October/msg00128.html

I can reproduce this issue with:
virt-viewer-0.5.2-9.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.11-11.el6.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.8.1-3.el6.x86_64

Tried with:
virt-viewer-0.5.2-16.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.14-5.el6.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.12.0-2.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. Install a RHEL6.3 guest with gnome.
2. Make sure guest has spice+qxl graphic devices and spicevmc channel exists.
3. Start the guest and make sure spice-vdagentd service is running in guest.
4. Run virt-viewer $guestname.
5. Increase guests resolution at least 1280x720
6. Zoom In,try to zoom in beyoned normal size,Virt-viewer windows increases its size, VM retains its original resolution.(repeat several times)

Step6 works well,so change the status of the bug to VERIFIED.
