This gist and Qemu bug https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/236 are of the same bug. @X41 could you pick that up as Qemu developer?

sorry about the confusion @Jiivee1 but i'm not a qemu dev 😅
and like i've said, this should be fixed already and rolled out in the next release (which should be mid december at the latest according to this)

EDIT: also i finally made myself compile things myself from git and saving with qxl works again!

Very nice to have found the actual issue, I did not think of looking in libvirt issue.

So what happened in my case was just that Void upgraded libvirt package underneat and I got the fix.

@X41 Thanks for clarification.

I can live by not using qxl for now and I can wait qemu 6.2.0 coming down to my distro. As being an ordinary user it is sometimes hard to figure out where the true bug is.
