Bugzilla – Bug 350513
gnome proxy settings dialog input disabled
Last modified: 2008-07-28 18:13:44 UTC
If I choose manual settings in the proxy dialog, set some proxy information, leave the dialog and reopen it later all the settings are still correct but the input fields in the manual settings are greyed out so that it's not possible to change anything in there until one switches the 'main' choice to something else and back to manual settings.
Confirmed, with no such bug reported upstream and a possibly relevant 886-line patch (control-center2-system-proxy-configuration.diff) in our packages. Indeed, I tried rebuilding the package without that patch, and this bug goes away in the absence of the patch.
Confirmed. It looks like we unconditionally start up with the Manual widgets disabled, but forget to enable them if "Manual proxy settings" is the starting choice.
Ping...
Still there in 11.0.
Created attachment 221992 [details] gnome-control-center-system-proxy-configuration.patch Updated version of the proxy patch that fixes this problem.
Submitted to STABLE; this should appear in openSUSE 11.1. * Fri Jun 13 2008 - federico@novell.com - Updated gnome-control-center-system-proxy-configuration.patch to fix https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=350513 - the widgets for manual proxy configuration were disabled at startup, even if Manual mode was selected in the user's configuration.
