Description Federico Mena Quintero 2002-01-31 18:30:19 UTC
Description of Problem:
I wanted to delete a task.  The delete confirmation dialog came up.  While
it was up, the task list hit its refresh timeout and regenerated itself. 
When I clicked "yes" on the confirmation dialog, nothing was deleted.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Try to delete a task.
2. Keep the confirmation dialog up.  Wait for the tasklist to refresh
itself (I think it does that every 10 minutes or so).
3. Click Yes on the confirmation dialog

Actual Results:
No task is deleted.  If I try again it works, of course.

Expected Results:
The task would get deleted.

How often does this happen? 
Every time.

still valid in evolution1.5-1.5.90.0.200407191630-0.snap.ximian.8.1.

this sucks, setting milestone to 2.1.

when this has been solved, testing bug 233783 would also make sense... :-)

still valid in evolution-2.1.4.0.200502011251-0.snap.ximian.10.1.

uhm, even worse now in evolution-2.2.0.0.200503210410-0.snap.ximian.
10.1, therefore changing summary.

i choose a task and choose "delete" from the context menu, the window 
pops up and now i wait until the task list (in the calendar view) 
flickers. now the focus in the task list changes from the task i want 
to delete to another task!
if i now choose the "delete" button in the popup window, the task that 
now has the focus gets deleted instead of the one that i was asked for 
in the delete window!

raising priority to major, since one could remove important tasks by 
mistake. hmm. i'll retarget to 2.2.x because of my last sentence, punt 
it if you don't like it... ;-)
