GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 735862
Adding to collection does not show new collection in dialogue and documents view is not updated until another collection is accessed

gnome-documents-3.13.4-3.fc21.x86_64 It's actually a couple of bugs together. The screencast shows the bug: https://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/misc/Screencast-documents-bugs.webm Since the mouse pointer isn't visible in the screencast, it's a little difficult to follow. I'll explain what I did: 1. Selected a document and clicked on "add to collection" - note that selecting a document does not show a tick on it, not even on hover. Probably a bug similar to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734945 Should I file a separate bug for this? 2. Typed in the name of a new collection - "To read later" and pressed enter 3. Tried to select the newly created collection 3a. Could not see tick mark on the newly created collection 3b. Could see tick mark on an already existing collection (this collection was not supposed to be empty. I had documents in it which seemed to have disappeared. Will file a separate bug for this.) 4. Exited collection view - no idea if the document was added to collection or not, no update in documents view 5. Selected the same document again and tried adding to collection again. Note that the collection I had just created does not show up in this list. So I repeat steps 2 - 4. 6. Opened the document, then went back to documents home - still no change in view 7. Opened another collection and then went back to documents home, now the collections and my document in it are shown. Note that the collection was created twice - filing a separate bug for this. 8. Selected a duplicate collection and hit delete to remove it - again, no change in documents view 9. Opened another collection and went back to documents home, now the duplicate collection is gone.

(In reply to comment #0) I am trying to reproduce this. Thanks for the screencast and detailed instructions. > The screencast shows the bug: > https://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/misc/Screencast-documents-bugs.webm > > Since the mouse pointer isn't visible in the screencast, it's a little > difficult to follow.

Typed in the name of a new collection - "To read later" and pressed enter After pressing ENTER, the newly created collection shows up. In a moment it gets ticked automatically. It takes a moment because of the IO to actually update the database. Does this not happen in your case?
Ah, it does with the 3.13.91 update - I just tested it out. Maybe I didn't wait long enough when I filed this bug. I'm not sure. While checking this up I ran into another probably related issue: 1. Add a document to a new collection 2. Works as expected when you wait like you suggested 3. Delete the collection 4. Try to add a document to another collection 5. List still shows the deleted collection in the list, but you cannot pick it 6. I closed and restarted documents and the problem persisted once. When I closed and restarted it again, the empty collection wasn't there any more, so the problem fixed itself.
The collections dialog has undergone a major revamp during the 3.17.x cycle. Can you still reproduce this bug?
