I can't see an option for it in virt-manager so can't fully confirm
(because I have no time to create a VM to verify for you).
Either you're unaware of Qemu's keyboard shortcut to contain the pointer
("Ctrl-Alt Toggle mouse and keyboard grab." [1]), or your VM is
defaulting to -usbdevice tablet when you want -usbdevice mouse, or you
need both.
Put another way, this is probably either user error or lack of
configuration in virt-manager. So at most it's a virt-manager bug.
