Description Adam Dingle 2010-03-03 20:19:34 UTC 
To see the problem, open the System Monitor Preferences dialog.  Click in the box that says "Update interval in seconds" and type a new number.  Press Close to close the dialog.  Now open the Preferences dialog again.  You'll see that the update interval has not changed.

I can use the arrows next to the update interval text box to change the update interval without a problem.  The problem occurs only when I enter a new update interval using the keyboard.

I'm running System Monitor 2.28.0 on Ubuntu 9.10.

I can confirm this bug still on Ubuntu 10.04 and System Monitor 2.28.0
Comment 2 WLigtenberg 2010-08-03 10:09:28 UTC 
Additional information:
You can actually change it using a keyboard, but then you NEED to press Enter after typing in the number.
If you don't press Enter, the Update interval is not updated.
