Copy and Paste long lag plus middle click not working
Hi, I love using virt-manager, but this was the one thing driving me up the wall.. the copy and paste has a lag for several seconds, if it works on the first time, often takes several attempt and waiting to work. Middle click stalls the user interface for a good 10 seconds and often doesnt work. Restarting virt-manager seems to resolve it for an hour or so.
I was about to let the virt-manager GitHub repo know, and it suggested it might be from Spice (it seems there is a short list of common problems they have issues created for which lie with Spice). It suggested a couple of troubleshooting steps, one of which, switching to VNC Server, seems to have fixed the problem. So I'm thrilled, but this has been plaguing me for a couple of months while setting up VMs and copying things out of old ones. So I'm sure since SPice Server is default and I'm using plain vanilla Ubuntu 20.04 (with plain KDE), and the first of the common problems listed on the virtmgr GH was for copy and paste, that fixing this issue will help a lot of people. Maybe they should also set VNC Server as default, I'll submit an issue for that.
Anyway, VNC Server seems to have resolved it, so that is good, but there is still an issue with Spice Server which is the default on virt-manager. Thank you
The VMs are mostly other pretty vanilla Kubuntu clones, one is the new 22.04 LTS.
