Description Patrick 2008-06-19 18:09:53 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Another problem (bug number two) with this dialogue: once you press the OK button on the error message window, the Manual Proxy Configuration dialog closes. So instead of being able to try to correct the mistake (where is none, that's bug number one), I loose everything, and have to start from scratch again by clicking the Setup... button next to 'Manually specify the proxy settings' again.

Can you still reproduce this bug with a recent KDE (4.1.3 / 4.2beta2 / 4.2svn) ? Thanks :)
If you do, can you post an image directly in the report using the "Add an Attachment" option

Darío, thanks for the reminder. The major problem has been fixed (the dialogue now accepts the valid entries I tested just now), but the minor usability problem still persists: When the user enters invalid values and acknowledges the error message by clicking the OK button, the parent dialogue with the settings also gets closed, and the user must start from zero.

Sorry for the link breakage, I restored the image and the link now works again.

The upcoming proxy configuration overhaul will make this a moot point because the manual proxy configuration won't be on a separate dialog. :)

Pushed by adawit into branch 'master'.

Rewrote the proxy configuration dialog to include missing SOCKS
proxy entry and make it much simpler to use.
