Description Uwe Kaminski (reporter) 2011-08-28 23:36:44 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION: master-branch (2011-08-28)

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Run Miniature
2. Join FICS as guest using the "Join as guest" button3. 

EXPECTED OUTCOME: A list of games will appear and getting longer and longer if
a new game offer is available. New games always appear on top of the list.

ACTUAL OUTCOME: A list of games will appear and getting longer and longer if a
new game offer is available. New games always appear on bottom of the list.


REPRODUCIBILITY: 
always

If you check Bug 12340 you will see that we are actually moving away from
showing always the last item of the list. I also thought it was a good idea but
in practice it's more complicated than that. See this case that now without the
filters in place is very frequent:

1. List grows beyond 7 results, automatic scrolling starts.
2. User wants to go to the first results, or far from the last ones in any
case.
3. Miniature (or QML to be more precise) will jump automatically to the last
result, which usually will irritate the user.

Now the user decides how to scroll while a counter always visible keeps the
user informed of the total amount of results available.

I think this is good enough for now. Let's wait to have filters in place and
also a refreshed list showing only actives seeks to see how big this problem
really is.
