Glade notify of file change in title window blinks on and off

[encompass]

Binary package hint: glade-3

If you have a saved file and begin making changes glade begins to blink the asterisk in the title bar on and off.
Though minor, it is important to know if there has been a file change.

thanks for the report, is this a wishlist bug? i think that blinking is not a good method for telling the user that the file was changed rather than changing the title like every program does.

[encompass (encompass)]

Goodness no. This is a bug. :)
When a file has been edited and could be saved it is common to put a * at the end of the title for that window.
If you make a window and in glade and start to edit the text for the title of the window... you will notice that the * turns on and off with every other letter.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

 * Is this reproducible?
 * If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

 This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Didn't I give those instructions?
Make a window, edit the title. Each char I type makes the * alternate on and off.
I have checked it again, and it seems to be working ok. I will report if I see it shows up again.

you gave instructions but those don't lead to the bug on my jaunty installation so I was wondering if there is some specific change to do to trigger the issue

encompass: What version of Glade were you using? I'm not able to reproduce this with 3.6.0. You say it is working now, did you upgrade since this problem occurred?

[encompass (encompass)]

Yes I upgraded. Sorry, I can't keep old versions.
:(

No problem, I'm assuming this is a bug on an older version and therefore fixed. Please reopen if the problem reoccurs. Thanks for taking the time to report!
