GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 624556
Tomboy web sync conflict window proceeds to overwrite local notes when closed
Last modified: 2017-07-31 12:47:02 UTC
System: Ubuntu 10.04 When syncing Tomboy notes to Ubuntu One and a conflict occurs (between local and online notes) a conflict pop-up window appears that does not have Cancel button (see Bug #456175). Without a cancel button present and if the user wants to cancel the sync operation the next logical thing to do is to try and close the conflict pop-up window. When doing so, Tomboy does NOT cancel the operation. Instead it makes Tomboy go forward with the default operation, which for me was to overwrite the local version of my notes by the online version. This occurs without the user being aware of it and so can lead to data loss. Corresponding Launchpad bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/605600
Correction: Bug #456175 is on Launchpad here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/456175
Right, closing the window should be prevented or something.
The Tomboy team has moved from GNOME Bugzilla to GitHub for bug reports and feature requests: https://github.com/tomboy-notes/tomboy/issues/ Closing this report as NOTGNOME as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 781054) to keep tasks in one place. Please feel free to transfer this task to GitHub if this task is still valid in a recent Tomboy version. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
