"Press Ctrl+Alt to release pointer." doesn't belong in the window title

[Richard Laager]

In virt-manager, when the mouse is grabbed, "Press Ctrl+Alt to release pointer." is added to the window title. This makes it excessively long and hides the most useful piece of information, the VM name. I believe this information should be in ONE of the menu bar, the toolbar, or a (new) status bar (with my preference being in that order).

I agree: in my case information does not get hidden, but the amount of information in the window title gets too large. Confirming and setting importance to wishlist.

Reproducible: Always

This is now fixed in virt-manager 0.8.6 in natty.

The proper place for this to be would be a status bar at the bottom. However we aren't going to add one just for the message, so changing this bug to track the actual work that would be needed.
