Summary0009653: spice-vdagent, possible regression, mouse pointer misaligns with cursor
Description

There seems to be a regression in spice-vdagent. Resizing a guest window causes a mislaligment of mouse pointer and actual mouse position. The misalignment can be corrected short term by restarting the agent. Downgrading to 0.22.1-4.1 permanently resolves the issue.
Package: spice-vdagent Broken version: 0.23.0-1+b1 (Kali rolling) Working version: 0.22.1-4.1 (debian stable) DE: XFCE Display: SPICE + QXL Input: USB tablet / VirtIO tablet / PS2 mouse / PS2 keyboard

Steps to reproduce:
Kali XFCE guest with spice-vdagent 0.23 running
Change guest screen resolution
Mouse pointer misaligns with cursor
Restart spice-vdagent
Misalignment temporarily resolved

Workaround:
kill -9 on session agent process (spice-vdagent) restores alignment
Downgrading to 0.22.1-4.1 fixes the issue

This is normal if you are using Kali on VM. If you have installed it directly, you can activate the mouse alignment option in the settings
