I have not the system with me now but I'm going to provide screenshots
this evening
It is my @HOME environment that consists on one fedora 18 system with
all-in-one 3.2
I only have one WIndows XP VM on it

I wanted to reproduce the clone from snapshot problem (see the other
thread you answered)
workflow is this:
- VM is powered off
- create snapshot named "test" that succeeds
(- try the clone from sapshot that produces the blank window; I don't
know if this problem can sort of influence the errors in the following
steps...
- close the ever running blank window
)
Now I don't need any more the snapshot as I reproduced the clone problem, so:

- select line with snapshot and date (the second one )
I don't have my screenshot here, but it is the same as in this image
in rhevm 3.1 manual:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvcFk3VXJoc0oxdnc/edit?usp=sharing
So it is not the current Active one the line I select....
-  select delete and I (correctly in my opinion) get the message:
Are you sure you want to delete snapshot from Wed Feb 27 07:56:23
GMT+100 2013 with description 'test'?
- select OK
- I get (incorrectly in my opinion, because I has not selected the active line)

Error:

 winxp:
     Cannot remove Snapshot. Removing the VM active Snapshot is not
     allowed.

During the process the VM remained powered off and no preview or other
operations were selected.
