Steps to Reproduce:
1.Alt+o key doesn't work in  Add connection dialogue box. Open virt-manager -> File -> Add Connection -> Alt + r (The checkbox of Connect to remote host will be selected) -> Alt+o.

2.Alt+D and Alt+M keys don't work in Create a new virtual network.Open virt-manager -> select one connection -> select Edit -> Select "Connection Details" -> Select "Virtual Networks" -> Click "+" button -> Click Forward -> Fill "Name",click Forward until "Connecting to physical network" page -> Press Alt+w(select "Forwarding to physical network") -> click alt+d and alt+M,the two keys don't work.

4.Many shortcut keys don't work in "Add a New Storage Pool".Open virt-manager -> select one connection -> select Edit -> Select "Connection Details" -> Select "Storage" -> Click "+" button -> Input a name and select a Type,then click Forward. There are many problems of shortcut keys except select "dir" pool type.For example,create a disk type pool:after input a name then select "disk:Physical Disk Device",then click Forward -> alt+o and alt+u don't work.alt+T and alt+s work well.

5.Two same shortcut keys in "Configure netowrk interface'.Open virt-manager -> select one connection -> select Edit -> Select "Connection Details" -> Select "Network Interfaces" -> Click "+" button -> Click "Forward" -> The "Configure" and "Cancel" have the same shortcut key "C". And also there is no shortcut key for "Start mode" in "Network Interfaces" tab.

Comment 7 Cui Lei 2014-04-30 02:11:55 UTC
I can reproduce this issue in RHEL6.5, which blocks auto test of virt-manager.
Please consider fix it.

Description:
Some hotkey of element do not work in virt-manager.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.9.0-19.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. Open virt-manager, click 'Edit'-->'Connection Details'-->'Storage'-->'Add a New Storage Pool'
2. Input a name as 'nfs_test', select 'netfs' as Type, click 'Forward' button.
3. Hold 'Alt' key, you will see the hotkey of each element of widget. click 'Alt+m' or press 'tab' fourth times


Actual result:
The text part of 'Host name' could not be accessed by click 'Alt+m'

Expect result:
Hotkey and 'tab' should works well

Additional info:
Same issue could be reproduce in RHEL7.
This function is every important for virt-manager auto test, as you can't locate some element by dogtail(There is no name of the element).
If hotkey, it will block auto test here.

Comment 8 Giuseppe Scrivano 2014-04-30 19:21:30 UTC
I still don't think that we should consider issues that have no direct impact on our users.  I will take a look at it and consider its inclusion if the fix can be considered trivial.

Comment 9 zhengqin 2014-05-04 07:28:22 UTC
Duplicate hotkey exists on window "Configure network interface"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open virt-manager, from "Edit" - > "Connection Details" -> "Network 
Interfaces"

2. Click "+" button, and click "Forward" button

3. On window "Configure network interface step 2 of 2", Press key "Alt".


Actual results:
Duplicate hotkey "C" exist on button "Configure" and "Cancel"

Expected results:
Duplicate hotkey should not be existed

Comment 10 Dave Allan 2014-05-12 14:13:07 UTC
I understand that it's more troublesome to write automatic testing without adding keyboard shortcuts for all functionality (and fixing any incorrect shortcuts that exist), however, making changes of this kind is really not appropriate for this stage in RHEL6's life, and since BZ 1092786 covers RHEL7, I'm reclosing this BZ.
