Hi Ray , I am getting this issue in rhel 7.3 snapshort 5 also , this bug is duplicate of bz 1346931 which was closed as cantfix ,may i know the reson for the js warning and why it was decided not to get fixed.is there a plan to get it fixed in future release
This is a legitimate bug and it should get looked at in a future update.
The deprecated octal syntax warning came up last week on another bug actually. I got a local fix, but didn't consider it freeze-worthy ...
Hi Florian Please provide me the root cause with the fix which you have
Created attachment 1313424 [details] Use non-deprecated octal notation in downstream patch
(Not sure what you mean by "root cause", but I attached the warning fix now)
I took the liberty to fix the warning when rebasing the downstream patch for RHEL 7.5 - it should be gone in the latest gnome-shell build.
Warnings not present in 3.26.
