Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 of problem:
CONTROLLER_SEND_CAD should only apply to keyboard-originated key combos, not menu-originated ones. Current behaviour together with "fix" of bug 868395 mean that user is not able to log into the VM that requires ctrl-alt-del to be pressed to log in.
Current behaviour actually makes no sense from historical POV either as CONTROLLER_SEND_CAD is an consolidated option that should decide if _keyboard originated_ CAD should be received exclusively by client or by the guest. Given that menu-originated keys are always meant for the guest, this decision shouldn't apply to them
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-gtk-0.14-7.el6.x86_64
mingw-spice-gtk-0.14-5.el6ev.noarch
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to some guest with CONTROLLER_SEND_CAD set to false
2. issue ctrl-alt-del via "Send Keys" menu
3.
Actual results:
key combo is not sent
Expected results:
key combo should be sent
Additional info:
Bug 929086 tracks mingw-virt-viewer side of things.

Can you confirm you can send the key combo if CONTROLLER_SEND_CAD is set to true/if this feature is disabled?
I just sent this patch https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2013-April/msg00008.html which would prevent sending ctrl+alt+del, but for reasons totally unrelated to CONTROLLER_SEND_CAD.

(I couldn't reproduce with the patch linked to applied and using spice-xpi test page)

Yes, it would be really helpful if you could test it as you were the only one able to reproduce that specific bug, and we have no clue as to why the Windows builds are fixed (are you 100% positive you reproduced that bug both on Windows and Linux?)
