Description Lukas Ruzicka 2023-08-11 11:14:43 UTC 
When Anaconda Web-UI is started, it offers one drive as a place for installation. Trying to interact with this results in two issues:

1) When I hit re-check for available drives, it informs me that no additional drives have been found, but also the one drive (already found) goes missing from the selection and I have to select it again. This is a UI flaw which for me was confusing at the first sight and it sort of bumped me in the process.

2) When I hit re-check once again, I cannot even select the original drive and the UI leaves me with an installer that is unable to install because no drive is selected and the only thing I can do is to close the installer and start over.

Both issues can be seen on the attached video.

Version:
anaconda-webui-39.29-1.fc39.x86_64


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See the description.



Expected Results:  
1) The available drive stays always selected when no additional drives are found.
2) The repetitive search should be possible without causing the described issue. Installation should be able to proceed afterwards.

Fixed by https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/5054
Comment 3 Lukas Ruzicka 2023-08-24 13:03:56 UTC 
I can confirm that the behaviour described in the point 2 of my comment has been fixed. The behaviour in point 1 is still visible.
Comment 4 Katerina Koukiou 2023-08-24 14:43:45 UTC 
Re-assigning in order to fix point 1. This was a deliberate decision but I agree it's not correct.
Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2023-08-25 19:02:33 UTC 
This is listed on the anaconda team's worksheet of things they think should be in F39 Beta, so proposing for a Beta freeze exception. It's an obvious UI flaw that folks can easily encounter in the Beta.
Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2023-08-27 16:16:49 UTC 
+3 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1202 , marking as accepted.
Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2023-09-07 15:48:21 UTC 
FEDORA-2023-755dc0b0c0 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 39. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-755dc0b0c0
Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2023-09-07 23:24:06 UTC 
Looks fixed. When installing with one drive, no matter how many times I hit rescan, it says "No additional disks detected" and leaves the existing disk selected as the target.
