GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 710396
no feedback on nick change
Last modified: 2021-06-10 11:05:35 UTC
When I type in the nick field to change it I don't get any feedback that something is happening. Perhaps we can: * Make the field insensitive * Show a spinner * Make field sensitive again * Indicate failure with an app-notification * Indicate success with an app notification "You are now known as mccann [undo]"
(In reply to comment #0) > * Indicate failure with an app-notification This is surprisingly hard :-( The nickname is made up of two separate properties - a local how-I-appear-to-myself one, and an external one synchronized with the server. When setting the nickname, tp will first try to modify the former and then synchronize the second one, but only failing the former is considered an error. There is currently an ugly workaround in place to somehow make it work as expected, but this will need addressing on the tp level imho. > * Indicate success with an app notification "You are now known as mccann > [undo]" We already show this in-line in the chat log (as any other status messages) - should we keep this if the information is already presented elsewhere more prominently (but less persistent)?
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Polari, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/polari/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
