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 Geyang Kong 2012-11-14 07:35:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
  Title bar of second form becomes invisible when connect to a RHEL guest with 2nd monitor through remote-viewer.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.2-16.el6.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.0-2.el6.x86_64
spice-glib-0.14-5.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-tools-0.14-5.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-python-0.14-5.el6.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.8.1-3.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.14-5.el6.x86_64
spice-protocol-0.12.2-1.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Sometimes, about 70%

Reproduce steps:
1. Have a notebook computer and plugged another display to its VGA interface.
2. Install a rhel guest on it, make sure it has spice+qxl device and spicevmc channel.
3. Update spice-vdagent and xorg-x11-drv-qxl
4. Run remote-viewer spice://127.0.0.1:5900 --full-screen=auto-conf
5. Leave full-screen mode.
6. Check console forms.

Actual results:
1. After step 6, first form becomes to normal size and I can visit its title bar and re-size it.
2. After step 6, second form only displays its menus but I cannot visit its title bar and cannot re-size it, click View->Zoom->Zoom In/Zoom Out/Normal Size will not work.

Expected results:
1. After step 6, second form should have same behaviors as the first one.

I am working on it
Comment 5 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-05-15 12:05:01 UTC 
the metacity "force fullscreen" behaviour is somehow tricky to workaround. All the hacks I can think of end up being racy. We may need two seperate windows for fullscreen and window mode..

Comment 14 CongDong 2013-07-04 10:39:33 UTC 
I can reproduce this:

Version
# rpm -qa virt-viewer
virt-viewer-0.5.2-18.el6_4.2.x86_64
# rpm -qa | grep spice
spice-gtk-0.20-1.el6.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.3-1.el6.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.14.0-1.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-python-0.20-1.el6.x86_64
spice-client-0.8.2-15.el6.x86_64
spice-glib-0.20-1.el6.x86_64
spice-protocol-0.12.2-1.el6.noarch

Steps:
1. Have a spice guest run on the host with 2 mirrors.
2. #  remote-viewer spice://127.0.0.1:5900 --full-screen=auto-conf
3. Leave full-screen mode.
4. Check console forms.

Result:
1. After step 3, first form becomes to normal size and I can visit its title bar and re-size it.
2. After step 4, second form only displays its menus but I cannot visit its title bar.

Verify:
Version:
# rpm -qa virt-viewer
virt-viewer-0.5.6-1.el6.x86_64
# rpm -qa | grep spice
spice-gtk-0.20-1.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-python-0.20-1.el6.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.14.0-1.el6.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.3-1.el6.x86_64
spice-glib-0.20-1.el6.x86_64

Steps:
As the steps above.

Result:
After step 3, the two window both have the title bar, and work well.
