New entries in System Monitor are placed at top, not sorted

[Matthew Woerly]

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

I have Azureus running with a few torrents, and it spawns a bunch of "ping" processes. In the System Monitor, when sorting by memory, it places these at the top, which displaces the actual entries that should be at the top.

thank you for your bug report, what ubuntu version do you use? do you get the issue using other softwares?

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

I'm using Hardy. What do you mean by "other softwares?" Other distros? The "top" command doesn't have the problem.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you get the same sorting issue running other software or is that specific to those ping commands? could you describe how to trigger the bug on a stock installation?

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

Oh, yes, it's mostly ping, but there are some others sometimes like sh, df, lsb_release, and some that are just blank. I'm pretty sure these are all spawned by Azureus. They might also be because of the Ono plugin, at least the pings.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you describe easy steps to trigger the issue on a stock installation maybe?

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

Install Azureus and run at least one torrent with it. You might have to also install the Ono plugin to get all the pings.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org since you seem to be able to trigger the issue easily and are better placed to reply to their questions than somebody who doesn't?

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

Ok, it's done. Thanks.
