Description Valent Turkovic 2008-01-30 13:07:59 UTC
1. type some text to a tomboy note, in this example I'll type "I hate when somebody deletes me"

2. I can forget about that note and not realise that when I make a headline of new note the same that "deletes" text became a link!

3. rename the current note to some word you have allready typed, like "deletes" in this example and see the word deletes in other note become a link

4. If I decide to rename the headline then the note 117 will change it's content without me knowing it!

Comment 7 Valent Turkovic 2008-01-30 13:14:58 UTC
I stumbeled upon this by accident. I have over 100 tomboy notes, and in some of them I have word "linux" because I put a lot of linux related stuff in tomboy notes.

I copy/pasted some linux survey I have found online, and as it began with the head line "Linux Journal 2008 Readesr Choice Survey" all of my notest that had word "linux" now have instead of that whole sentence.

So what was previouly
gnome is linux destktop
now is:
gnome is Linux Journal 2008 Readesr Choice Survey desktop

this looks like a really serious - I don't know what to call it but a bug...

Valent.

This is by design, but there are other bugs that address the potentially destructive nature of this behavior and how we might go about fixing it.

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of the central bug about this...bug #350990.  Please feel free to leave comments there with your input and suggestions.

Thank you for putting together those screenshots to help people visualize this.

no problem

I Love tomboy so this is the least I could do.
Comment 10 Valent Turkovic 2008-02-27 10:42:33 UTC
Is this bug fixed? In which version should this be fixed so I can download and test the apropriate version?

Cheers!

It's not fixed...it's just marked as a duplicate of bug #350990.  You should add yourself to the CC list of that bug so you will be notified of updates.

I don't think this will be fixed until the next cycle.
