Description of problem: The chosen file size for storage image is reset back to default (4000 MB) when going back in virt-manager UI. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.5.3-8.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run virt-manager and create a new guest (FV in my case) 2. At "Assigning storage space" select "Simple file" and change the default size 3. Proceed to the next screen (or next 2 screens) 4. Go back at the "Assigning storage space" screen Actual results: File size is reset to default (4000 MB) Expected results: File size is the same as entered by the user Additional info: I assume that this is caused by design, i.e. when the screen shows up the UI fills in a default value for the file size (which in this case could be overwriting the previous value). This is causing problems with usability for the end user. When one configures a guest and goes Back/Forward to modify settings one expects that everything they do not modify stays the same. In particular this has caused a few "not enough disk space" errors for me.
