typing string via VNC is unreliable QEMU version is 3.0.0 # Description The problem is that, when typing string through VNC, it can be unreliable -- sometimes some key strokes get skipped, sometimes get swapped, sometimes get repeated. There's no problem when typing through VNC on physical hardware. # Steps to reproduce 1. Launch virtual machine by: qemu-kvm -display vnc=:1 -m 2048 opensuse-leap-15.qcow2 2. Connect to VNC by: vncviewer -Shared :5901 3. Simulate a series of key strokes by "vncdotool" [1]: vncdotool -s 127.0.0.1::5901 typefile strings_to_be_typed.txt 4. Usually after a few hundred keys are typed, something goes wrong. I attached a screenshot that it mistypes " hello" to "h ello". [1] https://github.com/sibson/vncdotool
