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.

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

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.
