[Bug 434268] [NEW] Status of torrent download doesn't change back to normal after mounting destination disk and unpausing download.

[Esa Häkkinen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: transmission-gtk

Ubuntu 9.04, standard Transmission-gtk 1.51 (7963) via package
transmission-gtk 1.51-0ubuntu3

Bug is related only into GTK GUI, with status line & colouring handling
after continuing download with remounted destination.


On my case: Destination existing on dual-boot configuration WinXP ntfs media disk. Disk is not mounted by default. I opened Transmission gui and continued previously paused download, around 50% done.

First impression showed by Transmission gtk gui was on torrent status
line, saying "No file or directory" with red coloring, as usual.

I mounted mentioned ntfs media partition and pressed unpause from
Transmission gui.

Instead of clearing status as usual with newer info, Transmission gtk
GUI showed still same status text with red color as usual.

In this point, file re-checking did start and eventually, after check
was complete, status and torrent's box overall colour changed back to
normal as expected.


Repeat instructions:
- Start torrent download and Pause after some data is downloaded
- Close transmission
- Unmount Destination disk
- Open transmission and unpause download (status changes to "no file or directory" with red overall color)
- Mount Destination disk
- Unpause torrent download (status stays as it is, but file re-checking goes on as usual)
- (after re-check is done, status changes back to normal and torrent's box becames normal)
- Downloading continues


Expected: status updated before re-checking starts, if destination is mounted after first opening try.
Instead: status updated after re-checking, if destination is remounted after first opening try.
Bug severity: not affecting operation nor usability, only cosmetic problem: only misleading status shown for a while.

** Affects: transmission (Ubuntu)
