RHBA-2019:0497 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gnome-tweak-tool packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The gnome-tweak-tool packages provide the GNOME Tweak Tool, an application for changing the advanced settings of GNOME 3. Its features include installing and changing themes, fonts, icons, and extensions, and modifying the behavior of GNOME shell elements.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• When attempting to open the "Additional Layout Options" dialog window in the GNOME tweak tool, the window failed to open, and an error with traceback was printed into the terminal instead. This update fixes the bug, and the dialog window now opens as expected. (BZ#1664791)
• Previously, reopening the "Additional Layout Options" dialog window in the GNOME tweak tool led to a segmentation fault. Consequently, it was not possible to change any settings in the dialog window after reopening. With this update, the bug has been fixed, and "Additional Layout Options" now functions as expected after reopening. (BZ#1667991)

Users of gnome-tweak-tool are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
