Extreme typing lag when using Spice as the display protocol for Windows 7 x64 virtual machine guests
Issue
- Experiencing extreme typing lag when using Spice as the display protocol for Windows 7 x64 virtual machine guests.
- You can practically type a whole sentence before it is displayed on the screen.
- When using the machine via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) there are no issues with typing.
- We are using RHEV 3.5 and Hypervisor OS Version of RHEV Hypervisor - 7.1 - 20150512.1.el7ev.
- RHEV-Tools 3.5.9 are installed on the client VM.
- We have a work around by using Remote Desktop Protocol.
