Subject: Bug#641772: spice-client: Mouse motion stops when dragging
between screens in multihead
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit at bugs.debian.org>


Package: spice-client
Version: 0.8.2-2
Severity: normal

When using spice-client in fullscreen mode to connect to a dual head KVM
instance (Windows 7; vdservice in use), when I drag items from one screen to
the other, the item being dragged stops moving after the pointer crosses to the
second screen.  When the mouse button is released, the item being dragged is
dropped where the pointer was released.

If the mouse button is held down and the item is dragged from screen 1 to
screen 2 and then back again, the ceases movement while the pointer is on
screen 2 but restarts moving when the pointer returns to the first screen.

I've tested this mostly with dragging windows around between screens.  It
happens no matter which screen the dragging starts on: the item always stops
moving when the pointer reaches the other screen.

Tcpdump shows that no SPICE protocol traffic occurs while the dragging is
occurring over the second screen (i.e. the screen which the dragging did not
start on),  suggesting that the issue is the client not sending mouse movement
events rather than a problem on the server end.
