Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Corey Welton 2011-12-08 19:07:49 UTC
Description of problem:
This should probably actually be two bugs, but I think they're a little intermingled.

It's not entirely obvious how to remove a system registered to Katello. Adding to the confusion is the wonkiness of the select deselect method which seems to open a system info pane.

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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Register a system to katello; navigate to system view
2.  Note the grayed out "remove system" button. Fiddle with the UI for several minutes before you realize you need to ctrl-click a system to select it and subsequently enable the remove system button.
3.  Ctrl click this system again.
  
Actual results:
* As noted in step #2, there's no indication that you need to ctrl-click items in the list in order to enable removal
* Upon ctrl-clicking a second time, instead of de-selecting, which is the intuitive behavior, it instead opens the system details pane.

Expected results:

* Why don't we have a 'remove system' link in the system details view?  Now, obviously this wouldn't work for en masse system removal, but it at least goes along with the design across the rest of the UI.
* After ctrl-clicking an item to select it, doing so again should de-select rather than open the system details.

Additional info:

I am not sure what happens when you ctrl-click and you have more than one system selected. I suppose it probably opens the details of the system where hover resides.

I'm not sure yet how to make this better but it definitely needs to be.

Comment 3 Jason E. Rist 2011-12-21 21:27:24 UTC
I added a helptip in the actions area (to the right of the left list).  Can you please review that and let me know if it's helpful?

Comment 4 Corey Welton 2012-01-06 14:07:03 UTC
The helptip is good; however the other part of the bug remains: ctrl-clicking a selected item does not de-select it as expected.  Instead, it expands the details of the item in the right pane.

Comment 5 Jason E. Rist 2012-01-06 19:37:27 UTC
Thanks for the comment Corey as that wasn't entirely clear.  I'll take a look at that.
