4.1.8: Run Once does not allow me to choose a CD Image to attach
Hi, I upgraded from 4.0.6 to 4.1.8. I had created a VM in 4.0.6 but had never started it nor had I ever run it before I upgraded. I then upgraded to 4.1.8 (which went very smoothly), but then I tried to use the Run Once function to boot up and attach an ISO Image. However when I select Run Once, then Boot Options, the "Attach CD" option is unchecked and wont let me select it like I could in 4.0.6. If I try to select the checkbox I see the popup flash but the box remains unchecked. Is this a bug/regression in 4.1.8? I did clear my browser cache thinking that might be it, but no, that didn't help. The only thing I could do was Edit the VM, go to Boot options, select it there (which I could do) and then choose the ISO. THEN I could run it with the CD attached.

Hi Derek, this reminds me UX bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1516311 It has been filed for 4.2, but it affects also 4.1.x. It happens when the browser window width is less than approx. 1200 px, if it is your case. -Pavel

Interesting. Yes, xwininfo reports a geometry of 1105x883 for my browser window. What an interesting bug. Why would it assume it's a mobile view? and even if it IS a mobile view, why disable the functionality? At least the Edit dialog still works, but it's still annoying. I've added myself to that bug.

The layout is adaptive, It has a large/medium/small/xs layout. Depending on the size of the screen it will it will take one of those layouts. I am guessing that is a medium layout. And looking at the bug it appears to have decided that the labels should be above the fields. I am fairly certain there is no logic to disable some based on the layout. What highly likely is happening is that part of another widget that is transparent is on top of the checkbox and eating the clicks and thus nothing happens. With the whole UI rework haven't had the chance to look at this dialog in a while. It appeared to be working fine and I had bigger fish to fry. I will take a look at the bug and see if I can fix it the issue for you.

Looked into it, have a patch pending. The good news is, its easy to work around by simply making your browser wider until it decides to change the layout. For some reason it decided the height of the container of the field was double what it was supposed to be and thus the field (in this case a drop down) was on top of the check box and eating the click.
