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 of problem:
When screen-lock activates while a user has the context menu (right-click menu) of home or trash
icon on desktop open, it's impossible to unlock the screen afterwards because password prompt is
not accessible.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-3.32.1-29.el8.noarch
gnome-tweaks-3.28.1-7.el8.noarch
gnome-session-3.28.1-14.el8.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.32.2-48.el8.x86_64
Steps to Reproduce:
Freshly installed RHEL 8.7 with GUI "Workstation":
1. Set the Screensaver to 1 Minute: Settings -> Power -> Power Saving -> Black Screen -> 1 Minute
2. Activate the desktop icons extension: Tweaks -> Extensions -> Desktop Icons -> On
3. Right-click on HOME or Trash Icon on the desktop (context menu pops up)
4. Let the menu stay open until screen-lock engages
5. Try to unlock the screen
Actual results:
- Screen shows the time and date but does not give access to the password prompt.
Expected results:
- Password prompt should show up to unlock the screen.
Additional info:
When trying to get to the password prompt, following message appears in /var/log/messages:
Nov 30 14:27:16 rh8-01 journal[5116]: JS ERROR: TypeError: this._grabStack[i] is undefined#012onCapturedEvent@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/grabHelper.js:313:27#012_onCapturedEvent@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/grabHelper.js:12:12
gnome-shell-extensions-3.32.1-30.el8 fixed the issue outlined in the bug report: right clicking on a desktop icon, allowing the screen to blank on its own then trying to log back in works as expected and the password prompt is immediately visible.
