Description Dominique Leuenberger 2014-10-20 10:08:14 UTC
There is a step in creating a new 'box' which seems a bit illogical, not following a straight line.

* Create a new box
* Select the ISO File you want to use to setup the box
* Select 'Customize...' to change settings like memory/disk
=> at this moment, there is no 'way back' to the 'new' assistant. The only way is the 'back' in the top left, which in turn brings you to the overview of your VMs, with the new one added to the list.

I'd rather rexpect the 'back' (or any other form of confirmation) to get me back to the screen where I was busy creating my VM.

It should return to the wizard. This might well be related to
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725386

Could you try deleting ~/.cache/gnome-boxes/drivers and retrying your steps?
Comment 2 Dominique Leuenberger 2014-10-20 10:23:32 UTC
~/.cache/gnome-boxes/drivers does not exist on my system.

    props-toolbar: Only return to collection if prev state was display
    
    In commit commit b68642b we started to always return to 'collection' UI
    state on user clicking back button if VM is not running. This was to fix
    an issue that is specific to display->properties->display transition and
    it breaks for wizard->properties->wizard transition. Lets fix the latter
    by making sure we only return to collection state if previous UI state
    was 'display'.
