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 Milan Barta 2012-08-20 09:59:41 UTC
Description of problem:
After connecting to a VM using the remote-viewer (spice protocol), then switching to fullscreen mode and moving the mouse cursor over the upper fullscreen toolbar and away, the toolbar rolls up and hides. After that the toolbar cannot be reentered.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.2-9.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to a VM using remote-viewer
2. switch to fullscreen
3. move the mouse cursor over the upper toolbar
4. move the mouse cursor away from the toolbar
5. move the mouse cursor to the very top of the screen
  
Actual results:
the toolbar doesn't show up again

Expected results:
the toolbar does show up

Additional info:
the toolbar can be showed again only after switching to a window mode and back to fullscreen using the shift+f11 shortcut

Comment 2 Milan Barta 2012-08-20 10:12:18 UTC
Just found out that the problem only occurs with Desktop Effects enabled in Gnome. When disabled the toolbar shows up again as expected.

compiz-0.8.2-24.el6.x86_64

Comment 3 Geyang Kong 2012-09-07 02:36:13 UTC
I cannot reproduce this bug since I cannot enable "Desktop Effects" in guest, when I tried to do that, I always got error said: Desktop effects require hardware 3D support. Can you provide some ways I can get away from that error?

Comment 4 Milan Barta 2012-09-07 06:06:44 UTC
I didn't make myself clear, sorry. The Desktop Effects are to be enabled in client system, not guest.
I've done some more research and I found bug 689850  which I think is what's causing the problem and therefore making the remote-viewer in fullscreen pretty unusable.

Comment 5 Geyang Kong 2012-10-15 05:35:31 UTC
I'm sorry but I still cannot reproduce this bug with same build as yours. I've enabled compiz on my host, then followed your steps, and I also tried on both VNC and SPICE guests, but it always worked well. Can you still reproduce this bug and provide some more details about this?

Comment 6 Milan Barta 2012-10-15 09:09:12 UTC
Yes, the bug is still there (virt-viewer-0.5.2-11.el6.x86_64, spice-gtk-0.14-3.el6.x86_64).

I'll try to describe every step I do to reproduce:

On Client:
1. Enable Compiz desktop effects (Through Gnome "System" menu -> "Preferences" -> "Desktop Effects" -> choose "Compiz"
2. Connect to VM (for example through RHEVM portal) using remote-viewer
3. Switch to fullscreen (either through remote-viewer menu or "Shift+F11")
4. The upper toolbar shows -> after you move the mouse over it and away off it, it disappears
5. When you move the mouse to the very top of the screen, the toolbar should appear again, but it doesn't.

As I said before, I think it is most probably caused by a compiz issue described in bug 689850 (generally the topmost row of pixels doesn't respond to mouse actions).

Comment 7 Geyang Kong 2012-10-18 06:10:31 UTC
I still cannot reproduce this bug by very following your steps in comment 6, and neither can I reproduce bug 689580. I need to confirm some tips.
1. Have your mouse pointer grabbed by guest? If your guest grab your mouse, then you must release it from guest and then move it to the top. Only in this way the tool bar will work.
2. I've tried this with your steps on a Lenovo thinkcenter host and 2 DELL OPTIPLEX 580 hosts. All of them work well.
3. What's your host's model, do you use some special hardwares such as video card?

Sorry, it should by bug 689856, I typed it wrong.

Sorry, it should by bug 689850, I typed it wrong.

Comment 10 Milan Barta 2012-10-18 10:35:29 UTC
Ok, just found out that the toolbar issue only occurs when "Workspaces on a Cube" option in the Desktop Effects dialog is disabled.
Could you try to reproduce the bug with this option off, please?

Comment 11 Geyang Kong 2012-10-18 11:02:13 UTC
Thanks very much for your support, I can reproduce it now.

Comment 13 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-05-08 15:22:01 UTC
As this is clearly for me the compiz bug 689850, closing as dup.

Feel free to reopen if you feel otherwise.
