Description Victor Toso 2016-10-28 20:59:07 UTC
If I'm editing a task (row 3) and create a new task (row 10), the task on row 3 is still selected.

It should either select the task on row 10 or close the editor panel from row 3 otherwise I might be doing changes on task of row 3 but thinking it is the newly created task.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or design, let me know what is the expected behavior.
Comment 1 Georges Basile Stavracas Neto 2016-10-28 23:28:57 UTC
This is the desired behavior, the reasoning behind it is to allow the user add a series of task without having to reselect the new task row.

I'm open to discuss how to improve that, but I'm pretty satisfied with this behavior tbh.
Comment 2 Victor Toso 2016-10-29 12:23:18 UTC
Well, if this is desired behavior it is fine to keep it.
Maybe we could do something more explicit about the task that is selected? (different color or bold/italic, or the name of the task somewhere in the edit-pane)

Just a few suggestions but I'm terrible with UI so don't take my opinion too seriously.
Comment 3 Mathieu Bridon 2016-10-29 14:27:45 UTC
The problem with this is:

1. edit an existing task, change the details
2. create a new task

At step 2, I'd want to directly enter details for the new task. But I can't, I need to close the sidebar, then click again on the just created task.

The fact that the sidebar is not linked to the task being edited/created really feels like a bug.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all
older bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen
updates for a while.

If you still use gnome-todo and if you still see this bug / want this
feature in a recent and currently supported version, then please feel free to
report it at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-todo/-/issues/
by following the guidelines at
https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented
so far (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
