GTG unnests subtasks occasionally

[Craig Jennings]

I'm using Getting Things Gnome! 0.2.9, which i received from the stable ppa. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin)

Sometimes, I'll launch GTG and the subtasks aren't attached to their parent tasks any longer. This is troublesome since I usually use parent/child relationships to break down large projects into smaller ones. When the child tasks aren't associated any longer, I can't figure out which project they relate to.

I've been trying to isolate this to a specific action I'm taking, but can't seem to figure out what's triggering this. However, happens frequently for me. I would be happy to send you my gtg directory if you can't seem to reproduce.

I see the same problem as well. I found this bug while searching for duplicates before reporting it myself.

Could you try the current development version of GTG and liblarch? You can use our GTG Daily PPA if you are on Ubuntu/Debian-based system: https://launchpad.net/~gtg/+archive/gtg-daily

Other people who were able to reproduce it on GTG 0.2.9 weren't able to reproduce it on current development GTG. If you do so, please tell me how you do it :)

[Craig Jennings (cjennings)]

Thank you Izidor. I'll grab the latest daily build today and let you know
soon.

I couldn't reproduce this problem with the current trunk + python-liblarch and Craig hasn't reported any problem either. Closing as a fixed problem.

[sergio (serge-simon)]

Same problem for me. I wasn't unaware of this behavior so i had a lot of subtasks, all gone.
I'm using the very latest gtg-daily PPA, so the problem is absolutely not closed.

[Izidor Matušov (izidor)]

sergio: Are you able to reproduce this behavior? (I use subtasks quite heavily and without success) If so, I'll reopen the bug and work on a fix.

Same thing happens to me on a regular basis :

I have different OS on my computer and share the ~/.local/share/gtg folder between different distributions (Debian 7, Slackware 14, Mint (LMDE)). It can happen whether I open the same distribution twice in a row or if I open in another distributions.

I can't find a pattern, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

The version for LMDE is 0.2.9. I'll update this post to give you the versions for Debian and Slackware later.

Hi Gurvan,
    The current stable version of GTG is 0.3 and the bug has been
solved in that release. Moving on to 0.3 will solve your problem.
