Windows guest display is inverted vertically

[Dariusz Gadomski]

[Impact]

 * When running a Windows VM using the QXL driver from [1] the display is inverted and therefore almost unusable.

[Test Case]

 * Launch a Windows VM with a QXL display (I used Win2k16 running under libvirt).
 * Start websockify
     sudo apt install python3-websockify && websockify 5959 localhost:5900
 * Run a HTTP server to spice-html5:
   cd /usr/share/spice-html5 && python -m SimpleHTTPServer
 * Open a browser and go to http://localhost:8000
 * Enter
   host: localhost
   port: 5959
 * Click start

Expected behaviour:
Guest UI is displayed correctly.

Actual behaviour:
Guest UI gets inverted on refresh.

[Regression Potential]

 * This component may be used with openstack and it's possible that there are workarounds in place, so they may start working incorrectly.

[Other Info]

 * Part of this fixed is included cosmic and onwards (spice-html5 0.1.7-3).

marked cosmic wontfix because it is EOL today.

[Dan Streetman (ddstreet)]

one minor correction on version numbering; you set the disco and eoan versions to:

eoan: 0.1.7-3ubuntu1
disco: 0.1.7-3ubuntu1.19.04.1

The current version in both is 0.1.7-3, so the new eoan version is correct, but the version numbering across releases should always be increasing - meaning, the eoan version should be higher than the disco version. So to do that, I changed the disco version to:

0.1.7-3ubuntu0.19.04.1

@dgadomski does Xenial need patching as well?

@ddstreet: I've just checked and Xenial was also affected, attaching debdiff.

@dgadomski I know you're out currently, but please don't forget to verify this for disco and xenial once you get back. Thanks!

[Dariusz Gadomski (dgadomski)]

I have checked disco (0.1.7-3ubuntu0.19.04.1) and xenial (0.1.4-1ubuntu1.16.04.1) and I was not able to reproduce the problem.

Verification positive.
