The first part of what you see is a feature - drawing with "arrow" cursor on top of autocad crosshair is not very pleasant, so I reported it as a bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810588 almost year ago. The second part is actually a bug an if it wouldn't be fixed, it would deserve its own bug report. There were lots of fixes of various rendering issues in spice-server in last months so the bug could be traced to one of them (they live mostly in Red Hat/RHEL bugzilla but they are publicly visible).
