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.

Anyway, this minor issue is not worth a backport, moving to 7.2.
Comment 6 fwu 2015-05-21 03:45:42 UTC 
I can reproduce this issue with package:
virt-manager-1.1.0-12.el7.noarch

Steps are the same as description above.

Results:
When wrong password was input every time, the screen will flash black and white.
After several times, the console will be black.

Then try to verify with new build:
virt-manager-1.2.0-2.el7.noarch

Steps:
1. Install a guest with spice display server and set the spice password with "aabb";
2. start the guest and try to open it with virt-manager
# virsh start $vm
# virt-manager
double click on the guest item
3. the password dialog will come out, now input the wrong password like "a",
and confirm by click "Enter" quickly
4. the password dialog will come out again, repeat step3 quickly about 10 times.

Result:
1. After step 3, the screen will not flash.
2. After step 4, The console will not be black.

According to the result stated above, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED
