Description Pavel Grunt 2015-03-27 07:53:48 UTC
Description of problem:
The display of a virtual machine resizes to fill the whole virt-viewer window after trying to change the zoom level below the minimum (10%).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-2.0-3.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. check the display resolution of the vm
2. zoom out more than 10 times
3. check the display resolution of the vm

Actual results:
resolution is different

Expected results:
resolution is the same

Comment 3 Pavel Grunt 2015-03-28 17:29:04 UTC
It is also reproducible with just one 'zoom out'
1. resize virt-viewer window to minimal possible width
2. check resolution
3. zoom out
4. check resolution

Comment 9 zhoujunqin 2015-04-13 11:07:30 UTC
I can reproduce this issue with package:
virt-viewer-2.0-4.el6.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. check the display resolution of the vm: (1027*768)
2. zoom out more than 10 times
3. check the display resolution of the vm, resolution has changed to (2024*770).

Then try to verify with new build:
virt-viewer-2.0-5.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. check the display resolution of the vm: (1027*768)
2. zoom out more than 10 times
3. check the display resolution of the vm. 

Result: Display resolution of the vm keeps, not change.

But when i try zoom out more than 10 times, then use mouse to drag the guest window to a larger one, the guest display will turn dark, and showing "Waiting for display 1...".
I cannot connect to guest graphics again until restart guest.
so please help me have a look of this issue, thanks.

Guest information:
xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-15.el6.x86_64

Hi,

According to your comment, this bug is verified.
The problem you described is not related to virt-viewer (and I could reproduce it using previous versions), it is qxl bug that was fixed by xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-17.el6

Thanks for your confirmation, Pavel Grunt.
After i update to xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-17.el6 on my guest/host, i cannot reproduce "black display" issue, and since this bug issue has been fixed, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.

Comment 13 zhoujunqin 2015-05-14 07:38:46 UTC
Try to verify this bug again:
virt-viewer-2.0-7.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. Prepare a health guest(installed with rhel6.7 snapshot-1), check the display resolution of the vm: (1027*768)
2. zoom out more than 10 times
3. check the display resolution of the vm. 

Result: Display resolution of the vm keeps, not change.

So keep this bug in VERIFIED status.
