RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description haiyang,dong 2013-08-29 02:05:29 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1002126 +++

Description of problem:
Normally disbaled input entries should be "grayed out". But it seems that they are actually painted in black (same color as the enabled widgets) on some terminals. This needs to be fixed to give th ecorretc visual feedback to the user.
Comment 1 haiyang,dong 2013-08-29 02:07:01 UTC 
Need to clone this bug from upstream into downstream to track this issue on rhev-h
Comment 3 Fabian Deutsch 2013-09-30 14:04:14 UTC 
Okay. The console only supports 8 colors.
We could anyhow e.g. launch a terminal like fbterm which is opening a framebuffer and then allowing 256 colors.

Also other terminals like xterm and gnome-terminal also support 256 colors, that's why this bug only appears on the console.

We can
- Switch to a terminal supporting 256 colors, like fbterm, but this might lead to hw problems - if there isn't a fb driver for the gfx hardware - unlikely, but possible
- Hide disabled widgets completely
- Choose a different color for disabled or for the active widgets

Any opinions on one of these points or other ideas?
Comment 4 Mike Burns 2013-09-30 18:58:23 UTC 
I think we make every attempt to stick to the 8 colors, even if it's not really clean looking.  For the other terminals (ssh, etc), we can possibly use additional colors and make it look nicer.
Comment 5 Fabian Deutsch 2013-09-30 19:48:45 UTC 
Yes, good suggestion.

The following patch fixes the issue at least for thr 8colors case (console).

http://gerrit.ovirt.org/19706

We can improve it upstream to use more colors when available.
Comment 7 haiyang,dong 2013-10-21 07:47:49 UTC 
Test version:
rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20131017.0.iso
ovirt-node-3.0.1-4.el6

Now Color of enabled input widgets was black
and Color of disabled input widgets was red.

so this bug has been fixed, change the status into "VERIFIED"
