Description Drew 2015-05-02 13:34:49 UTC 
In Gnome-Boxes 3.16 I can't grab the Acer 27" Cooltouch touchscreen when I go to property/devices and switch on Cooltouch.  When I switch it on it seems to try to grab it for a moment as I can't use the touch for about 15-30 seconds.  After a failed attempt input goes back to the host Linux OS (Arch).  This worked perfectly fine with 3.14 but now it just freezes the input and then kicks back to the host.

There was a bug in spice-gtk that combined with some recent Boxes changes, broke usb redirection support completely. The fix will be included in the next spice-gtk release.

Please re-open this if it still doesn't work for you with next spice-gtk update.

spice-gtk was updated here and problem/bug is still there.  It won't grab the touchscreen.

The fix is not even in git master of spice-gtk yet so its unlikely you have an update that fixes the issue. You'll have to wait for the next release.

So am I waiting for spice-gtk-0.29?  Because I 0.28 doesn't work.

Yes. I'll nudge devs if they haven't released already.
