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.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch a rhel7 VM on rhel7 host with usb-redir and cirrus vga specified.
e.g:# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M pc -cpu SandyBridge -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection...-spice disable-ticketing,port=5933 -vga cirrus -device usb-ehci,id=ehci0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -chardev spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev1 -device usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev1,id=usbredirdev1,bus=ehci0.0,debug=3
2.insert the USB 2.0 stick to a rhel6.5 usb-host.
3.run the virt-viewer client on the rhel6.5 usb-host.
# remote-viewer spice://$rhel7_host_addr:$port
4.select the redirected USB stick device via "'File' menu
--- 'USB device selection'" in the virt-viewer client.

I can reproduce this bug with:
virt-viewer-0.5.6-10.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1.On rhel7 host,prepare a spice+cirrus rhel7 guest,configure usb redirection.
2.On rhel6 host,launch remote-viewer to connect rhel7 guest configured on step1.
# remote-viewer spice://$rhel7_host_addr:$port
3.select the redirected USB stick device via "File"->"USB device selection" in the virt-viewer client,the 'USB device selection' button was grayed out.
