I tested using 0.59.3 the problem seems fixed. Thanks very much

I have two questions;
Q1 - I find strange that there is two exactly identical entry for CR-ROM. Line 2 and 4 are the same and this shows in the dialog box I put in attachment.;
1:#
2:# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.04 _Feisty Fawn_ - Beta i386 (20070322.2)]/ feisty main restricted
3:deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty restricted main #Added by software-properties

4:deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.04 _Feisty Fawn_ - Beta i386 (20070322.2)]/ feisty main restricted
5:# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
6:# newer versions of the distribution.

These lines comes directly from feisty alternate-i386 install. It looks to me there is a problem? Why is there two identical lines?

Q2 - Why someone an option in software-properties-gtk is neither cleared or checked but is has a '-' in the box. If you click on it, it become a check mark. If you click again it becomes clear. If you click it becomes checkmark. So what does '-' meant? As a user I'm confused and I can't replace the button in the original setting '-' before leaving the dialog. So I don't know what changes are to be expected coming from that change. Does the tool put a '-' when it's not sure because of some inconsistency in the source.list file?

thanks again
