Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Raising the severity as operating system is unique entity in a way that Title of such entity is formed using not only name, but description too. We have similar increase of description length across other entities, but for them impact is minimal and do not transform table in a bad shape to make user experience worse.

Saying that we have a valid issue, no matter what reason get us there, so corresponding database field has to have sensible limit and we have to force it.

Comment 13 Renzo Nuccitelli 2016-11-29 11:07:05 UTC 
I just ran the test and it passed on sat 6.3 snap 6. So I am moving this to verified.
Comment 14 Oleksandr Shtaier 2017-01-19 11:13:02 UTC 
Resolved only for 6.3, but not for 6.2.z. Should we clone that defect?
Comment 15 Lukas Pramuk 2017-01-19 14:20:27 UTC 
Oleksander,

What should suffice here is to set sat-6.2.z flag to '?'
But as you can see it gets changed to '+' shortly
