Hi Mike,
Thanks for the update.
This behavior means that for some reason, the virtio-serial device was
closed.
In this case, mouse mode switches from client to server (assuming you
don't use usb tablet), and c&p stops working.
The most reasonable scenario for this is a crash of vdservice for some
reason, which we want to find out.
Please verify that is the case - look for vdservice & vdagent in the
taskmgr.
In addition, please send the monitor output of qemu around the time of
the failure.
Unfortunately, the vdservice & vdagent logs don't say anything that can
help us :(
Try to catch me at irc.gimp.net #spice to debug the issue online.
Waiting for your update,
Arnon

Hi there,
No updates for some time. Have you tried using the debug vdagent I
posted a while ago?
A newer version with several fixes can be found at spice-space.org
download page, or directly at:
http://www.spice-space.org/download/binaries/vdagent-win32_20111124.zip
Please update with your results.

Arnon,
I've gotten back on this problem and have done some more testing.
First, there was a new version of qemu that I installed from the F15
virt-preview repos, 0.15.1. Then within my WinXP VM, I installed the
new vdagent dated 11/24/2011.
I can say that things have changed, but the problem is still present.
Let me try to describe. First though are the contents of the log files:
Now, if whenever I first attempt to copy/paste, I can always do 1 and
sometimes up to 4 successful copy/paste operations. However, copy/paste
will then abruptly fail to operate after that initial success.
Interestingly, there's one additional thing that I always note. I've
disabled the USB Graphics Tablet function on the VM and with now I note
that initially, the cursor is NOT captured within the VM AND the
copy/paste operation works! However, after a few copy/paste operations,
the cursor becomes trapped (the VM window header bar has "Press
Control_L+ALT_L to release the cursor) AND the copy/paste operation then
fails!
When the above occurs, I can stop and start the vdservice and copy/paste
will again work for a very brief time, until the cursor again becomes
trapped.
I've also tried enabling the USB Graphics Tablet and essentially the
same thing occurs; that is copy/paste works for a very short time and
then fails. However, with the Tablet enabled, the cursor never becomes
trapped.
I hope the above is helpful. Please let me know if you need more info
or want me to try something else.
Thanks!
