[Spice-devel] Mouse failure happens when mouse hovers on some Apps like Kaspersky Anti-virus tool.

[Arnon Gilboa]

Hi Naga,

Tested and reproduced it on Win7.
I don't have a patch yet for solving it, but you comment out the line:
//ret = _running = false;
so vdagent won't exit, although mouse will not be effective on such apps.
If it's a must, meanwhile you can always switch back to server mouse 
mode by stopping vdservice.
You can also use usbtablet in case you don't need vdagent functionality 
(multi mon, c&p etc.)
I'll update you when I have a patch ready (currently not top priority).

Regards,
Arnon
