brasero progress bar resets itself several times during burning

[David Balažic]

Binary package hint: brasero

progress bar starts, goes to end, start again, goes to end and for good measure does it again. While burning an ISO image to DVD (and same with CD).

brasero 2.26.1-0ubuntu1
ubuntu 9.04

So the issue is:
 - brasero shows "I'm doing something" and a progress bar
 - when the progress bar reaches 100% ...
 - brasero shows "I'm doing something else" and another, new progress bar
 - when this progress bar reaches 100% ...
 - brasero shows "I'm doing yet something else" and another, new progress bar
 - when this progress bar reaches 100% ...
 - repeat

Instead, it should show a progress bar, that starts at 0%, then progresses towards 100%, and it reaches 100%, when the DVD burn is actually finished. So it tells the user about ... progress. Not just being there, because the GUI toolkit has a progress bar widget.

(this was originally reported as bug 399958, but got misunderstood for some other issue)

I tried karmic and the progress bar now starts at 0 and finishes at 100%.
But that might just be because this version does not do a verify after a burn.

You can close the bug thou, I reported a dozen new ones...

ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso live env.
GNOME 2.32
brasero 2.32.0-0ubuntu2
nautilus 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu1

It seems the old behavior is back:
 - progress goes from 0 to 100% (Creating checksum...)
 - then it moves left right
 - then it goes from 0 to 100% again (Writing track 01)
 - then it moves left right
 - then progress goes from 0 to 100% (Creating image checksum) (the window title says "Write to Disc (100% Done)" during this)

PS: xprop claims the windows belongs to nautilus, not brasero.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
