Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnotime

Building an example hierarchy like this:

- R&D
    - XY testing
    - XY development
- MKT
    - Research
         - seek similars
         - try similars
    - Advertising
- S&M

Trying to move subprojects among branches it reorganizes the whole hierarchy in an unwanted way. Eg moving the very last entity to a sub-branch, instead of the picked one...

Eg I tried to swap the order of "XY testing" and "XY dev" in the above hierarchy and instead I got this:

- R&D
    - S&M
    - XY testing
    - XY development
- MKT
    - Research
         - seek similars
         - try similars
    - Advertising

environment:

Seems to be a GUI refreshing issue.

Modifying the hierarchy the GUI does not follow the change sometimes. In such case closing and relaunching the application helps (the previous change gets applied.)

The above reported "hierarchy entity ID confusion" problem seems to come always after modifications on a non-refreshed (GUI) hierarchy.

This is a bug in Gtk+'s ctree component. Version 2.2.3-2 of the
package (available in Hardy) has a workaround for this. Can you
confirm if it works for you?

Anyway, I'm working in a rewrite of the projects tree component
based on the GtkTreeView component, sice ctree is deprecated.
This should be released in a 2.3.0 upstream version very soon.

Hi,

Great, I look forward to try the 2.3 version.

I have a second box with a debian and the same gnotime version and I could
reproduce the prob with that one. Unfortunately I can't try 2.2.3-2 but the
bug is indeed most likely in the component you refer, I believe.

Regards,
Peter

Gnotime 2.3.0 (with the GtkTreeView based implementation) is available on Sid for some time already. Unfortunately it didn't migrate into testing yet due to lack of support for guile-1.8 in the ia64 architecture[1].

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=479625

It should migrate to Debian Testing and Ubuntu Intrepid as soon as the above issue is resolved.

The fix for this bug is available in version 2.3.0 which, currently, is available only in Debian Sid.
