+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #511984 +++ Ancillary issues discovered while testing bug 511984 with 5.5-Beta Description of problem: Various user actions may result in a display insensitive to mouse clicks. - clicking outside a modal window (e.g. Authentication Configuration) - minimizing a modal window (Authentication Configuration, Network Setup, Confirmation of RHN register later) - moving modal window to another workspace. - switching workspace via <ctl-alt-leftarrow> or <ctl-alt-rightarrow> - etc. Suggest "low" severity because except for "Authentication Configuration" users are unlikely to encounter this issue. Also, experienced users will know how to recover. Steps to Reproduce: 1. touch /etc/reconfigSys 2. reboot 3. explore various window controls with the mouse. Actual results: The firstboot full-screen window is displayed, but mouse is ineffective. UI appears locked up. <alt-tab> will bring the Authorization Configuration window back to the surface. Expected results: All of: - All modal stay on top; and will not minimize. - The WM supplies single workspace or the WM does not allow windows to be moved to an alternate workspace. Additional info: Not a regression, symptom also observed with RHEL5.4 Also consider the behavior of non-modal windows (e.g. RHN Privacy Statement) which can have multiple copies displayed and/or minimized. Stratus views this issue as purely one of fit-n-finish. Stratus does not require a fix, but is willing to test any that are proposed. Suggest "low" severity because except for "Authentication Configuration" users are unlikely to encounter this issue. Experienced users will know how to recover. Recovery: <alt-tab> brings the hidden window back to the surface. <ctl-alt-leftarrow> & <ctl-alt-rightarrow> may be used to change workspace
Rich, at this stage of RHEL 5.5 (and the severity of the bug), I'm thinking this would be a good candidate for RHEL 5.6. What do you think?
You'll get no argument from any of us. Pushing it out to 5.6 is fine.
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.
Due to the low severity of this problem and the fact that it can be worked around, I do not expect Stratus would require a fix in RHEL 5. Stratus can enter a new bug if this problem is observed in RHEL 6.
