Bug-by-bug detail
=============
Accepted blockers
-----------------
1. grub2 — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2049849 — NEW
Windows with bitlocker enabled can't be booted, needs to use bootnext
instead of chainloader
Dual-booting recent Windows 10 system with TPM 2.0 fails because
bitlocker can't be unsealed by the TPM. This was waived to F37 under
the "difficult to fix" exception. A proposed amendment to the release
criteria would exclude this from blocker status:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.or...
2. abrt — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2128662 — ASSIGNED
Abrt does not report a segfault which is reported in journalctl.
A possible race condition caused abrt to fail to report segfaults.
Restarting the service caused abrt to work as expected. Recent
attempts to reproduce the behavior have failed.
3. glibc — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2129358 — POST
glibc 2.36+ breaks EAC with removal of DT_HASH (and other game
libraries), making games fail to load
Not including DT_HASH data in glibc's ELF binaries causes Steam games
using Epic Games Easy Anti-Cheat software to fail to load the EAC
module. This was made a blocker by FESCo due to the reptuational
impact it would have in the gaming community. A PR exists to restore
this data, but the maintainers have concerns about testing.
4. gnome-maps — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2129914 — VERIFIED
Gnome-Maps crashes when searching for locations.
Seraching for a location causes Maps to crash. Update
FEDORA-2022-094ef88915 contains a verified fix.
Proposed blockers
-----------------
1. firefox — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130087 — NEW
Firefox cause flickering context menus on websites since 105.1 on wayland
Context menus flicker, particularly when the mouse moves. This only
happens on Wayland sessions and does not appear to be related to
scaling. An upstream patch in the upcoming 107 release (expected 15
Nov) contains a fix.
2. gnome-calendar — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130964 — NEW
Month names are not in sync
Under a variety of conditions, the month names do in the two panels do
not adjust in sync. In fact, it's possible to create an event in one
month while the main view and left pane each say different months.
Filed upstream as
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/868
3. gnome-calendar — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130977 — NEW
Editing recurring events is broken, changes a single instance instead
of all instances
When editing a recurring event, only one isntance moves. That instance
is duplicated, while previous instances are deleted and subsequent
instances are unchanged. Filed upstream as
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/871
4. gnome-calendar — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130981 — NEW
Calendar does not delete events properly
Deleting a calendar event before the confirmation appears results in
events listed in certain views. After an application restart, the
events are back but cannot be deleted or edited. Filed upstream as
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/858
5. gnome-contacts — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130657 — POST
Editing an existing contact's email address causes Contacts to display
an empty "Unnamed Person" card, other edits made at the same time are
lost
Clicking back on an edited contact shows the card correctly if only
one field is edited. If the test edited two properties of the contact
(e.g. the email address and the phone number), the new email address
is shown, but the old phone number is shown - i.e. the phone number
change seems to be lost. Upstream MR
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-contacts/-/merge_requests/213
contains a candidate fix.
6. gnome-contacts — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130661 — NEW
Link Contacts feature completely broken
Trying to link contacts yields unexpected behavior. Linking contacts
results in two identifcal contacts with the information from both
originals. After restarting Contacts, the original contacts are
restored to their original states.
7. gnome-photos — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130927 — NEW
Favorited photos from albums are shown as favorited only after app
restart or second attempt
Using the star button to mark a photo as a favorite is not reflected
until either the operation is performed again or Photos is restarted.
Filed upstream as
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-photos/-/issues/204
8. gnome-photos — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130937 — NEW
Memory exhaustion when editing a cropped photo
When changing the shadows or highlights on a cropped photos, Photos
consumes 100% CPU and uses all available memory until killed by the
OOMkiller. This may be related to a recent change in the Generic
Graphics Library (GEGL). Filed upstream as
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-photos/-/issues/205
9. gnome-settings-daemon —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2128423 — POST
Default GTK_IM_MODULE should be ibus in GNOME Xorg
Trying to add a first input method in gnome-control-center does not
take effect until GNOME is restarted. This only affects X11 sessions.
Upstream MR contains a candidate fix:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/-/merge_requests/309
10. nautilus — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2127618 — NEW
Nautilus thumbnailing doesn't work on hidpi screens
When an image that does not already have a thumbnail, Nautilus has a
heavy CPU load while it is showing the directory. Filed upstream as
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2487
