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 Carlos Santos 2020-06-09 18:42:47 UTC 
Description of problem:

This is a follow-up to bug 1751121.

After booting a fresh installed and upgraded RHEL-7.8 with "Server with GUI"
installation the following messages are seen in the system journal:

Jun 09 14:25:52 rhel-7-4.example.com gnome-shell[4331]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/layout.js 29]: reference to undefined property "MetaWindowX11"
Jun 09 14:27:26 rhel-7-4.example.com gnome-shell[4755]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/keyboard.js 553]: reference to undefined property "_rect"
Jun 09 14:29:40 rhel-7-4.example.com gnome-shell[4755]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/endSessionDialog.js 763]: reference to undefined property "checkBoxText"
Jun 09 14:37:48 rhel-7-4.example.com gnome-shell[4755]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/popupMenu.js 717]: reference to undefined property "_delegate"


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

# rpm -q gnome-shell mutter gjs
gnome-shell-3.28.3-24.el7.x86_64
mutter-3.28.3-22.el7_8.x86_64
gjs-1.52.5-1.el7_6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL-7.8 from DVD choosing "Server with GUI" installation.
2. Register the system and perform a full update
3. Log in/out as an ordinary user. Use the workspace switcher. Wait for the
   screen saver/session lock.

Actual results:

[root@rhel-7-4 ~]# journalctl --boot | grep 'JS WARNING'
Jun 09 14:25:52 rhel-7-4.example.com gnome-shell[4331]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/layout.js 29]: reference to undefined property "MetaWindowX11"
Jun 09 14:27:26 rhel-7-4.example.com gnome-shell[4755]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/keyboard.js 553]: reference to undefined property "_rect"
Jun 09 14:29:40 rhel-7-4.example.com gnome-shell[4755]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/endSessionDialog.js 763]: reference to undefined property "checkBoxText"
Jun 09 14:37:48 rhel-7-4.example.com gnome-shell[4755]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/popupMenu.js 717]: reference to undefined property "_delegate"

Expected results:

No "JS WARNING" message should appear.

Additional info:

There is no visible impact of the warning messages, but a customer has the
requirement to not have any reoccurring error messages in the logs.

As explained in #1751121, this needs to be fixed in mutter or (preferrably) gjs.


> Jun 09 14:27:26 rhel-7-4.example.com gnome-shell[4755]: JS WARNING:

This was fixed in #1735700

Those are addressed in #1751121.

Comment 3 Michael Boisvert 2020-06-25 18:58:00 UTC 
As per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1751121#c24, I am reopening this bug to focus just on the JS warning in regards to "MetaWindowX11." Hence the component change.
Comment 8 Chris Williams 2020-11-11 21:39:24 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 shipped it's final minor release on September 29th, 2020. 7.9 was the last minor releases scheduled for RHEL 7.
From intial triage it does not appear the remaining Bugzillas meet the inclusion criteria for Maintenance Phase 2 and will now be closed. 

From the RHEL life cycle page:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Maintenance_Support_2_Phase
"During Maintenance Support 2 Phase for Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7,Red Hat defined Critical and Important impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected (at Red Hat discretion) Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available."

If this BZ was closed in error and meets the above criteria please re-open it flag for 7.9.z, provide suitable business and technical justifications, and follow the process for Accelerated Fixes:
https://source.redhat.com/groups/public/pnt-cxno/pnt_customer_experience_and_operations_wiki/support_delivery_accelerated_fix_release_handbook  

Feature Requests can re-opened and moved to RHEL 8 if the desired functionality is not already present in the product. 

Please reach out to the applicable Product Experience Engineer[0] if you have any questions or concerns.

Comment 15 Michael Boisvert 2021-01-05 21:13:40 UTC 
Using gjs-1.56.2-5.el8, I no longer see the "MetaWindowX11" error in the journal.
