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 Eduard Benes 2011-11-16 17:46:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
On a setup (Lenovo X201) with two screens (arranged LCD above ntb-screen) when I change a screen brightness (in gnome) using hardware buttons, it leaves a "hole" in the app on the other screen where the brithness applet drawed the small status window. Through the "hole" you can see a cut out of a desktop background picture.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.4-6.el6.x86_64
gnome-desktop-2.28.2-8.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a gnome setup a two-display layout and open an full screen app in both displays to cover the whole area, e.g. with gnome-terminal.
2. Change a brighness of the display using hardware buttons.
3.
  
Actual results:
A hole "cut out hole" in a screen appears on other display than mouse has focus on and you can see the background image.

Expected results:
No holes.

Additional info:
Lenovo X201 laptop, pretty new RHEL 6.2 installation (snap4).
I do not remember this to appear RHEL 6.1 before ... a regression? The "hole" is redrawn after the app with it gets a focus.
Not sure what's the correct component, therefore using gnome-desktop to get started.
Comment 2 Suzanne Logcher 2012-02-14 23:20:34 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
