5-a-day popup buble notice does not come up until cursor points at it

I've been playing around with the new 5-a-day applet and I find it really nice how the numbers now change. I was wondering why it takes so much time for the bug to be committed?

I would think that information would take 10 seconds at most. It does not respond when the bug is committed, only when there is a "mouse over" with the cursor on top of the applet that you get the Commit Notice.

I find that even 5 minutes later, I have to drag another tab to the 5-a-day applet, to make it says "Bug #FOOBAR was committed successfully". Therefore I can't drop the bug on top of the bubble notice and I have to do it again.

Other suggestions:
1) I find the program should have a preference to turn notices on or off.
2) It should also display hyperlinked bug numbers processed today when you right click on the applet.

Hi,
I think here are many different issues addressed, let me try to comment on all of them:

* 'response' time:
The underlying backend (the applet is using the cmd-line tool via subprosess in almost all cases) is often faster, but the UI does not reflect this, this is a bug in the way the applet does threading, I will look at it. But committing a bug could take far more than 10 seconds, it mostly depends on the bzr actions.

* notification:
I agree, it is also a bug that it is (sometimes) impossible to drop a bug when a notification is shown, I will also tkae a look at this. Having a setting to turn notifications of sounds like a good idea to me.

* showing today's bugs:
I think such a method has to be implemented in the cmd-line tools first, then it should be easy to adapt this in the applet.

The notification popping up is causing me grief as well but I don't think Just turning off the notification is sufficient -this doesn't resolve the issue - and I like the confirmation that the submit worked [as sometimes the number doesn't seem to update either]. (turning it off will only perhaps deal with the annoyance of two notifications coming up for each submit - the commit from bazaar and 5-a-day applet)

The 5-a-day tool and the 5-a-day-applet are mostly obsolete now. The only thing that still works is "5-a-day --update" for those who want it.

Just join https://launchpad.net/~5-a-day-participants and the rest will happen automatically. Some statistics on http://daniel.holba.ch/five-a-day-stats are not there yet, but will come soon. Bug data is now retrieved "automatically" from Launchpad.
