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.

'Region and Language' setting window
Hi Matthias
I am not sure which button you are talking about, but clicking 'Language' opens new window to choose the language. This window was used for selection.
I will attach the screenshots of 'Region & Language' window and new window opened by clicking 'Language'.
This was a part of QA test performed, and the result was FAILED due to this problem.

Did you reboot or just logged out? Did you use the overlay that shows up on top of the Settings window with a button to log out?

This file isn't attached.
I suspect this is the same issue reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1015257 which has been fixed in Fedora and AFAICT should be fixed in rhel 7 too at this point. Can you try with a more recent build ?

ja screenshot of lang config with logout restart button
Noriko, I think this is the logout dialog overlay that the Desktop team
was referring to above.
(I don't think I have seen your issue either but
probably running gdm from console is not a good idea anyway.)
