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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2011:0611 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE new package: subscription-manager 2011-05-18 17:56:21 UTC

Description Steve Salevan 2010-04-21 18:34:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
During long operations with subscription-manager-gui, the application will halt redrawing.  Long operations should be run asynchronously, or the GTK redraw function should be called during long operations.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
git HEAD

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform a long operation (adding subscriptions, registering, etc.) with the subscription-manager-gui tool
2. Move one of its component windows around on the screen
  
Actual results:
As above

Expected results:
Application windows redraw during long operations

Additional info:
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2010-04-21 19:09:22 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 3 James Bowes 2010-05-26 11:47:55 UTC 
+1 for async. manually calling redraw rarely works.
Comment 9 Jeff Weiss 2010-10-13 14:30:03 UTC 
This is a higher priority from qa's point of view - UI hangs need to be fixed.

Not only do the panels and dialogs stop drawing during long operations (which are most evident when registered to candlepin1, which is slow), there are dialogs which are supposed to contain progress bars, for which the progress bar is not even drawn until the very end of the operation.  For example, when subscribing to a pool.
Comment 10 Bryan Kearney 2011-01-04 17:14:23 UTC 
With the new design, there are fewer flyovers.. and I am not seeing this.
Comment 11 J.C. Molet 2011-02-08 15:50:06 UTC 
This cannot be reproduced as tested in versions above subscription-manager-gnome-0.95.1-1.git.5.ea27497.el6.x86_64
