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.

Description of problem:
As a consequence of attempts to address bug 1257179 and bug 1243707, the newly introduced Back button in the subscription-manager-gui has no effect (FIRST PANEL ONLY) and the dialog has no obvious way to be canceled.

Arguably one could say that since you are on the first registration panel there is no more going "Back" which explains why the Back button has no effect.  It's just not user friendly to be able to click a button that does nothing.  Instead, this button should be either disabled or undisplayed when on the first panel of registration.

Workarounds for Canceling:
 1. right click on the gnome widow decoration and choose "Close"
 2. Hit the "Esc" key

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-7 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager-gui
subscription-manager-gui-1.15.9-13.el7.x86_64
