[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 605600] [NEW] Tomboy web sync conflict window proceeds to overwrite local notes when closed

[Andreas Jonsson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tomboy

Tomboy v1.2.1, 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.

Expected behavior: When closing the conflict pop-up window the sync
operation should simply stop.
