http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1153140 Bug ID: 1153140 Summary: Mouse cursor is not captured by virt-viewer, gnome-boxes, etc. under GNOME (cursor leaves VM host window when boundary is reached) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.1 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME Assignee: gnome-bugs@suse.de Reporter: marcushallett+linux@hotmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Occurring on Leap 15.1 with GNOME 3.26.2 (as well on openSUSE Tumbleweed with GNOME 3.32.2 and with GNOME 3.34, filed as Bug 1152787), virtual machine host windows do not capture the mouse. When the mouse reaches the boundary of the host's window the cursor will not move any further inside the guest. Oftentimes, the cursor will actually leave the window entirely. Adding the "EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet" which enables absolute cursor control (rather than relative) using virt-manager to the machine is only partly helps; though not consistently and effectively. This is also not a correct solution. This occurs only under GNOME (KDE has it's own problems--looking at you, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877--but this is not one of them). I reproduced it under Leap and Tumbleweed using virt-viewer and gnome-boxes. The same problem cannot be reproduced using Ubuntu 19.04, so I would think this is confined to openSUSE ∴ I am not submitting this to the GNOME bug tracker. I file this one under GNOME, but it may be better categorized as Virtualization:Tools. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
