Description Anton Rebhan (reporter) 2010-02-13 14:48:46 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION: Maemo 5, 2.2009.51-1; orrery v3.0.9-1

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. In Location menu, enter several new entries under "Custom" (one of which
involved same name - Vienna - as in predefined catalogue, if that matters)
2. Save in Private Menu
3. Choose from Menu > Region > Private > 

EXPECTED OUTCOME: Can switch between different entries in Private Menu so that
previously entered coordinates are set

ACTUAL OUTCOME: All entries in Private Menu correspond to same coordinates, not
related to those entered

REPRODUCIBILITY: always

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:

OTHER COMMENTS: could not locate any file in /home/user, where Private Menu
would be saved to - was expecting something like .orreryrc

Comment 1 Ken Young 2010-02-13 15:21:28 UTC

I cannot reproduce this bug.   When I enter new locations using the "Custom"
locations, and save to the Private Menu, the application works as I expect.
I don't doubt that the reporter of this bug is seeing a real problem.   The
GTK+ widget that I am using for the coordinate entry, GtkSpinButton, does
not work well on the N900.   The spin boxes are supposed to have arrows next
to them, allowing the value to be "spun" with a stylus or finger.   Those
arrows do not appear on the N900.   Also, text input via the hardware keyboard
does not work - one must use the soft keyboard, which is inconvenient.
I will try to contact the reporter of this bug, to see exactly how he is
inputting his data.

I plan to replace the GtkSpinBoxes with some hildon widgets which presumably
will work better on the N900.
