Sticky notes prefereces dialog closes on toggling check boxes

Same here!

I've fixed the problem. The Properties and the Preferences dialog callbacks only checked specifically for GTK_RESPONSE_HELP repose and were hiding the dialogs if else. I guess this issue appeared due to some changes in GTK+, so now some responses are also generated when you change control states on a dialog.

Great! Thank you!

When can we expect the fix to be released?

I'm not very experienced with ubuntu contribution process, but if you want to get it now, you could use my PPA:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~sergey.rudchenko/+archive

The fixed package is there. Enjoy :)

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567477

The issue is not really worth an intrepid stable update, let's wait for upstream comments before uploading to jaunty

I wonder this didn't reached jaunty yet. That's disappointing :(

They haven't fixed it upstream. Does bumping make a difference on gnome-bugs (bugzilla)? If it does, everyone else here should post a comment on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567477. It is still UNCONFIRMED! That is a really bad situation! :(

I haven't upgraded, but I really wish I don't need to wait for six months more to get it fixed. I am pretty unhappy - I use sticky notes many times a day. They are so useful.

Those following will know that this bug has been fixed upstream. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567477

The patch has been applied to master and gnome-2-26."

I guess that mean "committed" and not released. But, hopefully now it will be fixed in Ubuntu soon. Since Jaunty is 2.26, maybe it will come down in some upgrade soon... ?

Good to see this small usability error fixed!
