I can't deduce from the above whether it is a host side problem (spice-
gtk) or a problem with the VDAgent (= guest code, Windows and Linux),
but it's certainly not a QEMU bug. Closing.

Title:
Windows 10 continuous screen refresh if resize guest to match window
size is selected with QXL
Status in QEMU:
Invalid
Bug description:
When VDA-Agent starts up, I get a continuous flicker of the screen.
This is almost like a screen refresh, where I am not even able to
really click on things and/or open menus.
Running Windows 10, x64
app-emulation/spice-0.13.1-r2::gentoo

Some additional interesting things I've observed:
* If the QXL driver is not installed, then the flicker doesn't happen
* As soon as i enable the VDA Agent, the annoying flicker / screen refresh
begins
* When I disable the VDA Agent, same thing happens.
- I tried Windows-Guest-Tools-0.100 and version 0.0103-r1
- And an assortment of QXL drivers, (WDM, proper for Windows 10).
As a workaround, I can set "Scale display" to On, and "Resize Guest to Match"
to off (using Spicy-gtk). This stops the flicker.
- Another strange thing is that I my XQL driver in Windows shows 8GB
of Video mem. I am not sure how/why this is, as I have not seen this
before.
