            Bug ID: 99965
           Summary: Spice user manual refers to nonexistent feature
                    "Arbitrary resolution"
           Product: Spice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: win32 guest-tools
          Assignee: spice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dsjstc at gmail.com

As discussed in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93304, there is no
support for automatically updating guest resolution to match the client window.
 The user manual states that this functionality exists, under the name
"Arbitrary Resolution".

Having come from VirtualBox, I expected this functionality, and spent a lot of
time trying to figure it out before finding the linked bug.  

Please consider updating the user manual to 

1) Indicate that this feature does not work in modern versions of Windows, or
perhaps at all, and

2) Please consider renaming the feature to something a little more meaningful. 
I'd suggest "automatically resize virtual guest display".
