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:
In Wayland, it is not possible to reach the list of available screen resolutions via keyboard in Gnome Control Center. In X.org, user can:
1. reach the Resolution line using Tab;
2. open the resolutions list via Return (or Enter) - the first item is selected;
3. select the desired resolution with arrow keys or Tab/Shift+Tab.
In Wayland you can reach the Resolution line using Tab and open the list via Return/Enter. The list is opened, but no item is selected. When pressing:
- down arrow key, the list is closed and the Orientation line is selected;
- up arrow key, the list is closed and the Night Light line is selected;
- Tab key, the list is closed and nothing is selected.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mutter-40.9-13.el9.x86_64
gnome-control-center-40.0-28.el9.x86_64
libwayland-server-1.21.0-1.el9.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to Gnome on Wayland.
2. Run "gnome-control-center display".
3. Press the Tab key twice (to select the Resolution line).
4. Press Return (or Enter).
5. Press the down arrow key.
Actual results:
Resolutions list is closed and Orientation line is selected.
Expected results:
Resolutions list should stay open and its second item should be selected.
Additional info:
- This affects users of screen readers (e.g. blind users) and test automation using at-spi.
- There is a workaround: After the resolutions list is opened (step 4), press Alt+Tab (once if no other window is opened, twice if there is another one).
Tested after update from
gnome-control-center-40.0-28.el9.x86_64 (bug reproduced)
to
gnome-control-center-40.0-29.el9.x86_64 (bug not reproduced).
