I point at the title bar of a window in the guest, I press the
mouse button and try to move the window around in the guest desktop.

I try double clicking a window title bar and the window maximizes
successfully.

Other controls for resizing a window (dragging the border) are not
successful.

The guest is Debian jessie with Xorg

The client system is Debian stretch where the default is Xwayland now.
I just modified /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf to uncomment this line:

WaylandEnable=false

and it restarted with Xorg instead of Xwayland but that didn't resolve
the issue.

The release notes mention a change from evdev to libinput too, could
that be relevant to the client?

I also opened a Debian bug[2]
