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.

Xorg.0.log for graphics hardware/driver identification

Description of problem:

Ever since upgrading to RHEL6.7, the xfreerdp session I have open to a Windows Server 2008 R2 terminal server does not always redraw the screen when transitioning back to it from another virtual desktop.  Windows from the virtual desktop I was on previously will remain drawn over the top of the xfreerdp window.  Moving the xfreerdp window off screen and back, or minimising the applications _within_ the window and then maximising them again redraws things correctly (not the taskbar as that doesn't get redrawn in this instance), but this shouldn't be necessary.

How reproducible:

Fairly often, but not always.  No current guaranteed method to produce results as yet.  Will update if something verifiable emerges.


Actual results:

Contents of windows from other virtual desktops visible instead of contents of xfreerdp window.


Expected results:

Contents of xfreerdp session window should be visible.


Additional info:

This is under KDE, haven't tried under GNOME as I don't use it.

Comment 2 Ondrej Holy 2015-08-24 07:49:11 UTC 
I've never seen this with GNOME. X server should maintain the window contents. Expose events should be generated if the window contents have been lost from some reason. Xfreerdp listen expose events and redraw the window contents if needed. Backing store for the xfreerdp window is set to always, which means that X server should maintain the window contents also when the window is unmapped. Apparently the window contents is lost from some reason and the window is not redrawn. Please follow the steps and provide logs to be sure that the expose events are generated properly:

1/ first connect to the server with xfreerdp as usual
2/ run following command and select xfreerdp window, xwininfo will generate info about the xfreerdp window
"xwininfo -all | tee xwininfo.log"
3/ then run following command and select xfreerdp window again, xev will be monitoring all the xevents
"xev -id $(xwininfo | grep id: | cut -d ' ' -f 4) | tee xev.log"
4/ reproduce the issue and then stop xev using ctrl+c 
5/ please attach xwininfo.log and xev.log
Comment 3 Ben 2015-08-25 09:27:29 UTC 
OK, logs attached.

Please note that I had to flip between KDE virtual desktops a bunch of times before a Konsole was drawn over the top of my xfreerdp window when flipping back to the virtual desktop with it on.  As a result the xev.log has a lot of stuff you won't care about in it before the end.  Sorry about that.

xev log, logged as requested
Comment 6 Ondrej Holy 2015-08-25 14:01:42 UTC 
Thanks for the logs.

Backing-store is set to "Always" for xfreerdp window as per xwininfo.log. It means that X server should maintain the window content also when the window is unmapped. There isn't any expose event in the xev.log. So it seems the window content was corrupted in the backing store somehow and unfortunately no expose event was generated. This is probably bug in X server.

It seems to me to be duplicate of Bug 1250105. I wanted to ask you to test this with disabled backing store as suggested in the mentioned bug, but the system doesn't boot correctly with disabled backing store for me...

So marking as a duplicate, because freerdp was not updated in RHEL 6.7 and the symptoms seems to match the mentioned bug...
