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.

Comment 1 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-05-16 13:41:36 UTC

I can reproduce with current virt-viewer-0.5.2-18.el6_4.2

This seems to be fixed upstream, at least since 0.5.6. not sure what fixed it, but probably some of Hans multi-monitor fixes, moving to POST, add dep on rebase bug,

There are 4 forms, but the 3rd and 4th are all in the second monitor, so just can see 2 monitors with guest form, and the other 2 monirots are not used.
