Spice Console won't show anything if newer Linux Hosts are in Screensaver
Hello all,
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, please point me to the correct place if this isn't.
I am referring to an Issue that I opened with the ovirt Mailing List (https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/ZQS676FGIRSLSXKSMIUEJAKY4RAVVA6F/)
There is an Issue when you try to connect to a CentOS 7.5 Host that is currently in Powersaving / Screensaver Mode (default after 10 Minutes), the Spice Console will state that it is connected but there is no output and no keystrokes are accepted. If you now disable the Screensaver on the CentOS 7.5 Host the Console will instantly work correctly. The Issue appears to happen on MacOS, Fedora and Windows according to the Mailing List. I have tried both these Remote viewers:

This is the Debug Output from the homebrew-virt-manager:

I have also attached a Screenshot from the RemoteViewer Window of a VM that is working perfectly fine but is in Screensaver with the Output above:
Any help is greatly appreciated.
