1221501 – virt-viewer "Normal size" doesn't take effect when opened guest with zoom level ≥ 130

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.

Created attachment 1025312 [details]
virt-viewer-debug.log

Description of problem:
After use virt-viewer connect to a vnc guest with setting zoom level larger or equal 130, then turn to normal size by clicking "Normal size" button, it doesn't take effect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

virt-viewer-2.0-7.el6.x86_64
gtk-vnc-0.3.10-3.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.10.2-54.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a health vnc guest in running status:
# virsh dumpxml rhel6u7-snap1-vnc
...
    <graphics type='vnc' port='5901' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
      <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
    </graphics>
...
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/>
      <alias name='video0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>

2. Set zoom level to 130 when use virt-viewer to connect:
# virt-viewer  rhel6u7-snap1-vnc --zoom=130

3. After guest window displayed, turn to normal size by clicking: View-->Zoom-->Normal Size.

4. Check guest window size is equal with set zoom=100

Actual results:
Guest window is smaller than normal size(zoom=100).

Expected results:
Guest window is equal to normal size(zoom=100).

Additional info:
I will attach virt-viewer detail debug information in attachment.
# virt-viewer  rhel6u7-snap1-vnc --zoom=100 --debug

Comment 2 Pavel Grunt 2015-05-14 08:56:06 UTC

It is happening also with spice-gtk so it is not vnc specific.
Also it is worth mentioning that guest's display resolution is 1024x768, because some resolutions (e.g. 800x600) do not trigger this bug.

Comment 3 Pavel Grunt 2015-05-15 05:50:53 UTC

I wasn't accurate in my previous comment. The problem is 100% reproducible when the window of the application would exceed size of the monitor because of the zoom. So for the monitor using resolution 1920x1080 and guest using resolution 800x600 it is reproducible when the zoom level is greater than 180.

Patch avoiding to set the zoom level which would make the widow exceeding the monitor is posted: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2015-May/msg00049.html

So, looks like this patch never ended up upstream.
Do we have some plans to revisit this issue?

The patch which ended upstream is 3cbb6232f33d0ecdc7f58e2ea8eb7830f9fe007f.

Comment 8 mxie@redhat.com 2015-12-15 05:40:54 UTC

I can reproduce the bug with builds:
virt-viewer-2.0-7.el6.x86_64
gtk-vnc-0.3.10-3.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.10.2-54.el6.x86_64


Try to verify this bug with builds:
virt-viewer-2.0-8.el6.x86_64
gtk-vnc-0.4.2-5.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.10.2-55.el6.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a health vnc guest in running status:
# virsh dumpxml rhel6u7-snap1-vnc
...
    <graphics type='vnc' port='5901' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
      <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
    </graphics>
...
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/>
      <alias name='video0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>

2. Set zoom level to 200 when use virt-viewer to connect:
# virt-viewer  rhel6u7-snap1-vnc --zoom=200

3. After guest window displayed, turn to normal size by clicking: View-->Zoom-->Normal Size.

4. Check guest window size is equal with set zoom=100

Results now:
Guest window is equal to normal size(zoom=100).


So move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
