Description

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Well, this all has to do with the accelerator keys; I've posted a patch to et-mgmt-tools list that seems to fix this particular issue. I'll attach it here for reference as well.

Disable the accelerators when the pointer is grabbed
This request was previously evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release, but Red Hat was unable to resolve it in time. This request will be reviewed for a future Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. Even though virt-viewer is new in 5.2, in terms of user experience from 5.1, this is a regression (esp. for things like virt-install). Marking as a regression. Chris Lalancette This bugzilla has Keywords: Regression. Since no regressions are allowed between releases, it is also being proposed as a blocker for this release. Please resolve ASAP. Set dev ack for Dan. Built into virt-viewer-0.0.2-2.el5 Not sure what's going on here.. But sending alt+s when the mouse pointer is grabbed in virt-viewer is locking console up. It works fine for my testing. I tested a RHEL-5 guest - Run X inside the guest. - Open a gnome-terminal - Run 'xev' in the terminal - Active the pointer grab - Type 'Alt+s' and observe the keys are reported correctly by xev. I can reproduce this but in a different config. The guest is RHEL5 gold hvm, running in runlevel 3 .. - Open the guest up in virt manager, let it grab the focus. - Type something , send ALT+S , type something .. - Press CTRL+ALT to claim the focus, send ALT+S .. - Then the console acts up. You can get it to act normal again by pressing alt+S again. it seems like when ALT+S is sent to the virt-viewer while the focus grabbed by it, still leaves the ALT key on, so everything else sent afterwards looks like it's been sent with ALT+thekey. Any ideas? Please stop mixing up virt-manager & virt-viewer in testing. This bug is against virt-viewer only - i make no claims as to whether virt-manager traps Alt+S or not. I have only fixed virt-viewer. File a separate bug if there are issues in virt-manager I apologize for the typo , i did indeed do this with virt-viewer . s/virt manager/virt-viewer/ Moving this back to ON-QA as this issue is fixed. Please create another bug for additional issues. Thanks. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
