I need a sanity check if this is an issue that is just affecting me at the moment or if there is a broken package somewhere.
What I have been trying to do is using virt-manager to manage my QEMU virtual machines over SSH, however I seem to have the issue attempting to do it locally as well (Running on the same physical machine)
What happens is, when you click into the window, it captures the mouse (Supposed to send it to the VM), but during the Windows installer, nothing reacts.
If you try typing on the keyboard, nothing happens either.
What seems to work however is if you use your hotkey to detach from the VM and use the send keys option to send CTRL ALT DEL, the VM responds and will reboot if you hit it before the Windows installer starts.
I verified it is not a Windows being weird issue by hooking up to a VM running Debian that I have SSH access to, so I know it is live, however via the virt-manager console, it doesn't react to any keyboard input on the login screen.
To further my testing, I have a laptop running Arch, and it experiences the same issue, so I guess I am at an impass of weirdness here, either the package is broken or something has changed.
So I am guessing the biggest question is, am I the only one that has seen this issue so far?
There was an unanswered bug that was similar on the Virt-manager bug reporting tool, but it went totally unanswered.

I was having a similar issue (mouse and keyboard doing nothing) while trying to install a Windows 10 ISO in virt-manager. Solved it by changing the VM's chipset to i440FX instead of the default q35. This can be done by selecting the option to customize before install, which is on the last page of the setup wizard.
