When creating a new VM based on an USB stick, after clicking on "New", "Continue", selecting "sdb", the contents of the gnome-boxes window stays black. The next step (with the "Create" button) only appears if I switch to another application and switch back. This was observed on an HP 635 laptop with AMD graphics, and gnome-boxes-3.8.3-2.el7.
Sounds like a clutter/gtk issue.

Not sure if I am able to follow your instructions. How are you exactly starting usb based VM? I think this functionality was removed from RHEL7, wasn't it?

At the time I wrote the bug report, gnome-boxes would react to plugged-in USB sticks (with a bootable operating system on them) and offer to start them as a new VM.
