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.

(I'm fairly sure I'm reporting this problem for the wrong component. Also, I'm setting prio/sev to low/low up-front. It's just that I think this should be reported *somewhere*. and it would be nice to get an analysis and/or fix.)

So the issue is, after upgrading my RHEL-7 laptop to 7.1 over the weekend, I noticed that the small text labels on the gdm login screen ("Not listed?", "Password", "Cancel" etc) look worse. I can't quite put my finger on the difference, but the characters look jagged. I think there's some regression with antialiasing.

is it just the login screen? or does it happen after login too?

> is it just the login screen? or does it happen after login too?

Can't really tell. I've only seen it on the login screen, but on my physical laptop I don't use the gnome shell, so I can't compare. I can try to check it in the VM though.

Okay, compared two virtual machines, 7.0 and 7.1, when logged in. The difference in rendering does *not* seem to affect that environment; ie. it looks to be specific to the login screen.

Huh, I just clicked the "Show other bugs" link near the top, which led me to believe that bug 1174223 might be a duplicate.
