Pinned notes displayed as separator lines

[Stefan Schweizer]

Binary package hint: tomboy

Just upgraded to 10.10, now my pinned notes are displayed as separator lines in the tomboy menu. When I click on one of those separator lines, the note is opened though.

For notes, that are not pinned, the note names are shown. Tomboy is running inside the indicator applet. Also the note icons and the possibility to pin notes are gone.

Here is a screenshot, in case my description is not clear enough.

Were the notes pinned before the upgrade and now they look like this? (I am wondering how the notes got pinned if the UI is missing)

[Stefan Schweizer (stefan-schweizer)]

Yes, they were pinned before the upgrade. It is also still possible to pin notes when running as panel applet.

so pinning is broken in indicator applet, there's no UI for it in the indicator and the response to drawing it is to put a separator in... This is less than ideal, I'll discuss it with ted gould and see what he thinks about the API necessary for supporting pins properly.

I believe I may have found the cause of this bug, the NoteMenuItem class appears to be unchanged and is constructed as if it was a status menu and not an app-indicator menu, this is possibly also the cause of; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/627744

I have a possible fix for this bug which I'm busy uploading to my ppa

ppa:karl-qdh/ppa

The fix will be available shortly if everything goes well.

The patch included in this fix is available on this bug, as it fixes this one first; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/627744

After updating the tomboy package the names of pinned notes are displayed but the UI for pinning is still missing.

for people sad that pinning is gone then the more appropriate bug is Bug #738200
