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 Xiaodai Wang 2017-09-27 07:38:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
when too many files fail to be transferred, a long list of those file names display in the dialog. It's better to fold those detailed error information as virtmanager does.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-5.0-7.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable file transfer function in xml.

    <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'>
      <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
      <filetransfer enable='no'/>
    </graphics>
2. Drag 20 files into the guest.
3. Check the error dialog.

Actual results:
All failed filenames are list and make the dialog becomes very high.

Expected results:
It's better to fold detailed error information.

Additional info:
Please see the screenshots of virt-viewer and virt-manager for reference.

Comment 9 zhoujunqin 2019-08-20 09:50:21 UTC 
Reproduce with:
virt-viewer-7.0-6.el8.x86_64

Steps:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable file transfer function in xml.

    <graphics type='spice' port='5900' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'>
      <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
      <filetransfer enable='no'/>
    </graphics>

2. Drag about 50 files into the guest.
3. Check the error dialog.

Result:
All failed file names are listed and file list grew bigger than the screen.

Verify with:
virt-viewer-7.0-7.el8.x86_64
libgovirt-0.3.4-9.el8.x86_64

Steps as above:
After step3, all failed transferred files list are inserted inside a scrollable widget, the title is 'Transfer error'.
It is as expected.
Details please see verification.png attachment, thanks.
