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 Xianghua Chen 2021-01-07 04:17:28 UTC 
Description of problem: 
Can not accept mouse input correctly in vm console tab unless Expand it

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cockpit-machines-234-1.el8.noarch
libvirt-dbus-1.3.0-2.module+el8.3.0+6423+e4cb6418.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a VM with a ISO file(such as fedora*.iso), then install it with GUI

2. During the installation, click the content per the installation guide in Console tab, can not click on the button you really want to click.
You can also check that in an existing running vm with GUI, the mouse seems like not in the right position.

3. Expand the Console into a separate page, everything is normal now.


Actual results:
In step 2, There is a gap between the mouse on the screen and the actual position in the vm,  I mean you can't click on the button you want to click.

But all click is good in step 3.


Expected results:
In step 2, the mouse click should work fine.

Comment 1 Garrett LeSage 2021-01-21 18:08:40 UTC 
Thanks for reporting this issue!

I couldn't reproduce it here on either Firefox or Chrome — with the window maximized. When I resized my window where it would scale the embedded VNC viewer, it started to have some issues.

This problem isn't actually related to the window being embedded or expanded. It's an issue where the mouse offset is calculated from the top-left origin and it counts pixels. However, when the internal resolution differs from the on-screen resolution (that is: the view is scaled), the offset is incorrect. It should be taking into consideration the screen size versus the scaled screen size... but it doesn't. Instead of using pixels, it should be using percentages or a multiplier.

Hopefully someone with familiarity in the VNC codebase can help to figure out a working solution.

Comment 6 Xianghua Chen 2022-09-15 06:51:50 UTC 
Sometimes the whole console tab is not fully shown and I'm blocked when installing. Current we can use Desktop viewer to workaround, and hopefully it can be improved when new implement method is ready.
