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 Tomas Jamrisko 2013-01-10 15:05:14 UTC
Description of problem:
Currently used monitor-config message uses continuous range of monitors, which forces the user to use a continuous display configuration.

Copying from BZ#881072

...Reopening of closed display has been fixed, one different issue has surfaced:
  -- for some reason the client always tries to establish connection on first n available displays, where n is number of windows open. Which results in: 
     -- user being unable to open displays out of order (e.g. instead of having displays 1, 3 and 4; he gets 1, 2, 3)
        -- this might be considered as OK, but remote viewer actually states it's waiting for the selected display and ends up with the wrong one. 
        -- the bigger issue related to this behaviour is: 
           -- user has no control of which display actually gets closed, when he closes a window.
              -- when user closes a window, then after a short period of time, the configuration alters in this way: It closes the highest open display, and maintains the first n displays open. Example for a use case, where this is wrong: 
user opened displays 1, 2, 3. Works mostly on displays 1,3, decides to close 2. After a short timeout, display 3 gets closed, 2 reopened, and work from 3 gets rearranged between 1 and 2. The expected way is obviously keeping 1, 3 open, closing 2.
...

This new build brings in a whole set of interdependent patches from upstream to fix bug 881020, this includes the fix for this -> moving to MODIFIED.
