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).

Hi,

thank you for this report. This bug has been fixed upstream in https://git.gnome.org/browse/vinagre/commit/?id=69acae5330c848cb7bf4094ebce34ccad798c6ca. The patch fixes the bug also in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. I'm proposing to fix this bug in upcoming minor release.

Comment 7 ilya 2017-03-01 16:59:00 UTC
And when it will be fixed?

Comment 8 Marek Kašík 2017-03-02 09:46:10 UTC
I've proposed the fix for 7.4 so if everything goes well then you will find it in 7.4 release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 9 ilya 2017-03-02 14:21:48 UTC
And when 7.4 will be released? I think this is a critical bug: i can't work with vinagre.

Comment 10 Marek Kašík 2017-03-02 14:34:12 UTC
I'm sorry, I can not comment on when the release will be available.

Comment 11 ilya 2017-03-02 15:11:31 UTC
