view menu disabled

[Jonathan Dawson]

Binary package hint: adept-manager

All the menu features in View are greyed out and non-functional.
Version 2.1.1ubuntu2.
Installation via kubuntu edgy 3 cd

[Mark Wharton (markwharton)]

Confirmed. The View menu choices "Show Package List", "Show Last Download" and "Show Last DPkg Run" are greyed out and non-functional. The only functional view menu item is "Manage Repositories".

These used to work with Dapper but no longer work with Edgy.

Confirmed on latest Feisty.
The show package list entry is disabled both in the package list view and in the details view.

[Yuriy Kozlov (yuriy-kozlov)]

If the entries can't be fixed, then considering bug 74262, the View menu should be eliminated altogether. However, "show last dpkg run" is a useful option to have (bug 44165).

I've got what looks like a fix to me ready. I think we could possibly make this fix smarter (e.g. not showing blank displays), but it is fixed now.

Michael,

Just doing some bug triage. Can this now be closed as fix released? The view menu certainly seems to work fine for me on a fully updated feisty system.

Following a conversation with Michael D. Stemle on IRC closing this bug as fix released. This patch was included in feisty.
