Description Rezwanul Kabir 2012-07-02 18:55:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
 There are usability issues with  “Universal Access Preferences”-->”use screen magnifier” feature on the login screen. We found two issues:

  1.  There is a bit of garbled video on the top of the magnified screen ( the right side of the split screen).
  2. The mouse pointer is unclear.

Pls refer to the attached picture.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-mag-0.15.9-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Install RHEL6.2
2.On the login screen, click “Universal Access Preferences”-->”use screen magnifier"
  
Actual results:

The magnified screen looks unclean and the mouse pointer is difficult to use.

Expected results:

The magnified screen looks clean and the mouse pointer is easy to use

Comment 6 William Gomeringer 2012-09-13 15:49:41 UTC 
This was declined for 6.4. Moving to 6.5 for the time being. Rez, I imagine we would want this in 6.4.z?

Is this still an issue?
Comment 10 Karl Hastings 2016-10-18 02:41:34 UTC 
This BZ is 4 years old.

There have been no comments from the Dell side in 4 years.

I'm closing this one out.  If there are still issues feel free to reopen with updated diagnostic information.
