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 Tomas Jamrisko 2012-08-03 09:48:59 UTC 
Description of problem:

Connecting to a VM with vdagent running and trying to zoom in beyoned normal size results in a frantic behaviour where the window tries to resize itself, and vdagent tries to fit the new window size. After a few iterations  virt-viewer window ends up smaller, and vdagent wins by keeping 1:1 pixel ratio

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.3-1.el7.x86_64
virt-viewer-0.5.3-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to a VM with vdagent
2. Zoom In
  
Actual results:
(see description)

Expected results:

Virt-viewer windows increases its size, VM retains its original resolution
Comment 3 Christophe Fergeau 2013-11-04 10:42:29 UTC 
Parent bug (rhbz#856678) was fixed upstream and VERIFIED in rhel6.
Comment 5 tingting zheng 2013-11-07 14:02:32 UTC 
Tested with:
Host:
libvirt-1.1.1-11.el7.x86_64
virt-viewer-0.5.7-2.el7.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.20-6.el7.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.14.0-5.el7.x86_64
spice-gtk3-0.20-6.el7.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.4-3.el7.x86_64
spice-glib-0.20-6.el7.x86_64

Guest:rhel6.5
spice-vdagent-0.14.0-2.el6.x86_64


Steps:
1. Install a RHEL6.5 guest with gnome.
2. Make sure guest has spice+qxl graphic devices and spicevmc channel exists.
3. Start the guest and make sure spice-vdagentd service is running in guest.
4. Run virt-viewer $guestname.
5. The default resolution of the guest is 1272*720.
6. Zoom In,then the resolution become 1152*720.
7. Zoon In again,the resolution changed again:1056*720.

Step 6 and step 7 shows the bug is still not fixed,so move the bug back to ASSIGNED.

I can't reproduce with those instructions using virt-viewer-0.5.7-2.el7.x86_64 and 6.5 guest. Please verify.

Notice that mutter/gnome-shell prevents from growing the window outside the workspace. You have to have the window already partially outside for it to grow larger.

I tried with virt-viewer-0.5.7-2.el7.x86_64 and rhel 6.5 guest,the bug can still be reproduced.

As I can't reproduce,
please provide a recording of the desktop exhibiting the bug.

thanks
Comment 9 Tomas Jamrisko 2013-12-16 10:45:11 UTC 
Will record if this doesn't help. 

the difference between behaviour of 0.5.6-8.el6 and 0.5.7-2.el7 while zooming in is, that on rhel6 the window keeps on increasing its size indefinitely, whereas on rhel7 the window gets only as large as the desktop. When the size of the window would exceed the resolution of client, the window doesn't get any larger and the guest has its resolution reduced and DPI increased to compensate.

Maybe this is actually intended?
Comment 10 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-12-16 11:05:11 UTC 
Eh ok :) Did you read this?

Comment 11 Tomas Jamrisko 2013-12-16 12:01:33 UTC 
I didn't :). 

In that case this is most likely a notabug.

Retested the issue with:
virt-viewer-0.5.7-3.el7.x86_64

When I move the window out of screen then resize,most times resolution will keeep the same,however,when I set original screen as 1024*768 or similar resolution,the resolution will change when zoom in.
Comment 20 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-07-17 11:29:32 UTC 
please verify with new release of virt-viewer-0.6.0-1.el7, and take Comment #10 into account. It works for me, as described.
Comment 21 CongDong 2014-07-23 07:32:42 UTC 
I can reproduce with virt-viewer-0.5.7-3.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. start guest and open with virt-viewer
# virsh start $vm
# virt-viewer $vm
2. set guest's resolution to 1024*768
3. move the window out the screen like this
              +------------------------+
              | display                |
              |                        |
              |       +----------------------+
              |       | virt-viewer    |     |
              |       |                |     |
              |       |                |     |
              |       |                |     |
              |       |                |     |
              |       |                |     |
              |       |                |     |
              +-------|----------------+     |
                      |                      |
                      +----------------------+
4. View -> zoom -> zoom in several times

Result:
The size of the window changes big, and resolution is changed.

VERIFIED with: virt-viewer-0.6.0-1.el7.x86_64

Step is same with above.

Result:
The size is zoomed, but resolution is not changed.

As the result, set to VERIFIED.
