Cancel and Save buttons invisible when creating new Facebook account in Gwibber

[Ben Romer]

Binary package hint: gwibber

When re-creating my Facebook account on Gwibber, after authorizing, I was unable to see the Cancel and Save buttons until I clicked on another button on the window. After I did, the buttons were unresponsive and did not save my account.

Steps to reproduce:
- open the Broadcast accounts window.
- delete your Facebook account.
- create a new Facebook account and authorize, selecting "keep me logged in." Once authorized, no account will appear for it in the list, but the window will change to show authorization, and will not have Cancel or Save buttons.
- make the Cancel and Save buttons appear by clicking on the Message Color chooser and picking a color.
- click Save, nothing happens.
- click Cancel, the window will change back to the first account in the list.

sorry! I mean gwibber of course heh (happy new year)

[Ben Romer (bromer)]

The about box says 2.32.2, and Synaptic calls it 2.32.2-0ubuntu2 - I keep my system updated daily, so it should be the current version in the repository.

Happy new year there too! :)

there have been issue with gwibber not being able to add facebook accounts due to traffic problems that gwibber have been pulling from faceboook. Alot of work have been done to fix this issue and the problem have reduced to a much larger extent but a few people still face the issue, that I believe would fix with time when more and more people upgrade to gwibber 2.32.2 in Maverick or gwibber 2.30.3 in Lucid

If you try a few times you would be able to add the facebook account in gwibber, I believe.

[Ben Romer (bromer)]

Well, the account adds just fine if I click add - that's not a problem. It's that if you're in the middle of adding the account, and try to change the color, the Save/Cancel buttons come up but don't work. It'd be better if the controls didn't come up at all until it was added, or if the Save button did an add and save together, instead of doing nothing.

It's a minor problem but just doesn't look very nice, is all, so I thought I'd mention it. :)

then this bug should be fixed in gwibber 2.91.4 since now you dont have to click the add button, its auto added after authentication. and you can change the color later of-course.
