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.

Additional info:
Zhiyi Guo found this is likely the upstream issue https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1622 with upstream commit https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/9acb3d7e5202b3e667f12829c8d553f8574d1743
I'll see if this fixes the issue.
Fangge confirmed it reproduces on x86_64

With latest upstream release 8.0.3 that contains this commit, the output looks good.

Marc-Andre - can we get this backported for 9.3.0 please. 

If you'd like to provide thoughts related to a 9.2.0 z-stream please do so. I'm not convinced without proof that this would affect our LPs like OpenShift or OpenStack

It should be as "easy" to backport for 9.2.0 (qemu-kvm-7.2.0-14.el9_2.N ?). Indeed, I am not convinced many users are using the PNG format, and it's not critical either to have bad colors.

QE bot(pre verify): Set 'Verified:Tested,SanityOnly' as gating/tier1 test pass.
Comment 12 Guo, Zhiyi 2023-08-07 03:00:06 UTC 
Verified this issue against qemu-kvm-8.0.0-9.el9.x86_64, screen capture with png format show correct color
