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:
I had multiple terminals, a thunderbird, and a firefox window open. After disconnecting my mouse and trying to use alt-tab to switch windows, the window-list-widget came up but was unresponsive. I was unable to interact with the desktop after that. I tried alt-f1, alt-f2, tab, ctrl-tab, switch to VT and back, all failed. Plugging mouse back in resolved the issue with a single click. Also reproducable when synergys looses network connection to remote synergyc.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.0 RC4
How reproducible:
Very
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in mouse, open several terminals, thunderbird, and firefox windows spanning multiple monitors (xinerama setup)
2. Interact with the windows, pressing alt-tab to switch
Actual results:
Window-list widget appears but is non-functional while mouse is disconnected.
Expected results:
Window-list widget should function with keyboard-only input i.e. additional tabs while holding down alt should cycle through windows.
