Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
In Lucid:
1. In users-admin: Select a user different from your current user. If you need to create a new one, this one gets selected after creation.
2. If you now - while the different user is still selected - click on 'advanced settings' you will be able to edit the settings of the intended (!) user. Good, so far.
3. Now let's suppose, the user clicks on 'Manage Groups' first, maybe because he thinks that this would also offer user specific settings. Just in the moment when the Groups dialog pops up, the user selection in the main window moves 'silently' to the currently logged in user.
4. After closing the groups dialog, the user may now clickt on 'advanced settings'. It is likely, that he will not notice that he is editing his own settings. If he has bad luck, he removes the admin group...
Expected behaviour: The selection should stay constant and should only change on user request.
Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04
gnome-system-tools: 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
Can't confirm on it.
In my Lucid, when the Groups dialog pops up, the user selection in the main
window won't move 'silently' to the currently logged in user.
Do we need any additional operations to reproduce the problem?
