Bug still exists, therefore I have marked as 'new' per your request.
Using latest version of QEMU for Windows (from
https://qemu.weilnetz.de/) still does not adjust the host window size if
a quest size changes while the host window is being moved.
Thank you,
Ben

Title:
host window size does not change when guest video screen size changes
while moving host window
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
When QEMU is emulating a legacy text mode, then switches to a VESA
mode, if you happen to be moving the host window while the switch is
made, the host window never changes size. The emulated size does, but
the host window doesn't.
For example, at Legacy boot up, the screen mode is mode 03 at 80x25.
Then when the GUEST OS changes the screen to a VESA mode, say
1024x768x16, normally the host window will change to that size to
accommodate the new emulated screen size.
However, if you happen to be moving the host window at the time of the
screen mode change, the host window doesn't change in size to
accommodate the new screen size.
I am using:
QEMU for Windows, version 4.1.0-11789
Host: Windows 10 (latest updates)
Emulating: Intel x64, Legacy BIOS
Command line:
"c:\program files\qemu\qemu-system-x86_64.exe" -m 256 -drive
file=C:\fysos64.img,format=raw,if=ide,media=disk,index=0 -parallel
file:para.txt -boot c -d guest_errors -vga std -smp cpus=4 -rtc
base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -net none -monitor stdio
I tried different -vga settings:
-vga std
-vga cirrus
-vga vmware
Each did the same thing.
[ Side note (possible error in documentation):
[ at: https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/qemu-doc.html#SVGA-graphic-modes-support
[ end of 2.16.2.1
[ (option -std-vga)
[ possibly should be
[ (option -vga std)
If you need an image to test with, I have been using
www.fysnet.net/temp/fysos64.zip (2meg zipped/10meg raw). It starts in
Legacy BIOS/Hardware mode 3, then switches to VESA 1024x768x16 within
a few seconds, so be ready to move the HOST window when the mode
changes.
I do not have a Linux box to test with, so unknown if this is only an
issue with the Windows version or not.
