Description Matej Parm 2019-02-09 19:16:58 UTC
SUMMARY
I'm unable to use virt-manager and virtualizing Windows / other KDE Plasma and copying or pasting text. If I want to use clipboard, I have to close virt-manager or "hope" that next copy / past won't freeze keyboard. I had to jump to GNOME in order to do some virtualization... And I'd love to use Plasma ;-)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install Debian Testing with KDE Plasma 5.14
2. install virt-manager and run Windows with Spice drivers of Ubuntu with Plasma
3. copy and paste text withing host or between host and VM (guest) or just in VM (guest)
4. keyboard freeze randomly stops working for approx 60 seconds when copy / past (it's random, sometime it's OK, sometime not)

OBSERVED RESULT
typing on keyboard does nothing

EXPECTED RESULT
keyboard should work
