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 Giovanni Tirloni 2012-09-10 14:46:12 UTC 
Description of problem:
If the Gnome main menu is clicked, the screenshot is not activated. When the menu is un-clicked, and enough time has passed, the screensaver is activated immediately after.

If the Gnome main menu is not clicked, the screensaver activates normally.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-screensaver-2.28.3-18.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define the Gnome screensaver to start after X minutes
2. Click on the Gnome main menu in the panel and leave it showing
3. Wait X minutes, the screen saver will not activate
  
Actual results:
Screensaver is not activated.

Expected results:
Screensaver should activate regardless of what's happening on the screen.

Additional info:
There was a bug reported for Fedora 14 (#569027) that was closed. I felt it was more appropriate to open a new one for RHEL 6.3 to get it considered.
