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.

desktop icons
Description of problem:
Desktop icons have two different high contrast appearances. Switching is not deterministic, I managed to get to the state that I have normal icons and high contrast icons at the same time.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.32.2-6.el8.x86_64
gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-3.32.1-8.el8.noarch
How reproducible:
ON my machine always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have icons on desktop.
2. Open control-center with Universal Access, enable Universal Access.
3. Unmaximize the control-center and move the window so you can see the icons.
4. There are now a few ways to see the non deterministic behavior.
A. Open Universal Access menu via top gnome panel.
A.1. Switch High Contrast Off and On a few times.
B. Switch High Contrast Off and On directly in control-center.
C. Switch High Contrast On and Off via top gnome panel so you get the second High Contrast.
C.1. Switch On and Off in control-center.
Actual results A):
Contrast will get turned On but on turn Off the contrast will just switch to the other High Contrast option, basically unable to switch it off in that menu.
Expected results A):
High Contrast has only one option and turning Off and On works as expected.
Actual results B):
Contrast will get turned On but on turn Off the contrast will blink to the other option before turning icons back to normal.
Expected results B):
High Contrast has only one option and turning Off and On works as expected without showing any intermediate step.
Actual results C):
Contrast will get turned On but on turn Off but in some cases it will set second High Contrast as Off option and sometimes normal non High Contrast option. I was able to see even normal and High Contrast option set at the same time. As can be seen in the video.
Expected results C):
Both ways of setting the High Contrast will behave as expected on setting On and Off.
