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.

Description of problem:
Disable client-side mouse acceleration temporarily when the pointer is in server mode and grabbed. Spice-gtk doesn't seem to do it and it causes weird pointer behaviour in server mode (from overly sensitive cursor when acceleration curves shape is smooth and similar to erratic behaviour).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-gtk-0.14-3.el6.x86_64
virt-viewer-0.5.2-11.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure you have mouse speeds at highest possible levels in mouse properties and mouse acceleration enabled ("acceleration" slider at maximum value in gnome mouse properties, in Windows "Enhance pointer precision" checkbox)
2. make sure you have mouse in server mode
3. move mouse semi-quickly
  
Actual results:
mouse pointer will almost "jump" over whole guest desktop at any faster movement

Expected results:
mouse pointer should move in a guest just as it would move in a physical client

Additional info:
This could affect windows client as well
