Description Toolybird 2019-01-29 05:43:31 UTC
Description of problem:
"Backing store" UI is missing when initially creating a qcow2 volume.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0.0 (Arch Linux)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open "Storage" tab of "KVM/QEMU Connection Details"
2. Click on "+" to Create a Storage Volume
3. Note that it defaults to "Format: qcow2" (GOOD!)

Actual results:
Note that "Backing Store" expander widget is missing. (BAD!)

Expected results:
"Backing Store" expander should just be there

Additional info:
You can eventually get the Backing Store UI to appear by selecting "raw" then again selecting "qcow2". It never used to be this way.

Yes, it's only a minor issue. Thanks.

Thanks for the report! Fixed upstream now:

    createvol: Fix showing backing store UI on first run (bz 1670266)
    
    Whether we check for a vol-format value shouldn't be dependent
    on whether the UI is on screen (is_visible), but whether the UI
    is requested to be shown (get_visible)
