+VNC outputs garbage in zlib mode
+
+TL;DR: When QEMU is launched with VNC as the output and viewed with a client that defaults to zlib VNC encoding, the resulting output tends to accumulate artifacts.
+
+Reproduction:
+Launch QEMU (tried with versions 4.2.0 and 4.1.0 on Linux  64bit) with -vnc 0.0.0.0:0
+Connect to it with a VNC client that allows you to select encoding, i.e. UltraVNC.
+Set encoding to zlib (type 6), 32bit color.
+As screen content changes it starts accumulating artifacts. Almost certain to appear if you open-close windows over a pattern.
+Does not seem to depend on guest used, but easier to reproduce with a GUI.
+
+Looks like this: https://orbides.org/img/vnc.png
+
+It appears to be a deflate glitch of some sort - all of the bad pixels are generated by length/distance codes. Can't narrow it down any more.
+
+The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to
+another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid
+and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to
+"Incomplete" now.
+
+If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch
+the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report
+will be marked as "Expired". Or please mark it as "Fix Released" if
+the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already.
+
+Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

+[Expired for QEMU because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
