Hi, I also stumbled on this particular matter in the past. If I remember correctly...

No, if the "Use Proxy for Web Access" is not ticked, there is "No Proxy" at all > - If the checkbox is ticked, then by default the first entry of the > combobox is activated ("DefaultProxy").

That's why someone just added the help text just besides the comboBox I think. Why not having a tool tip instead of a help text just besides the combobox ? or at least remove the help text when you don't select "Default Proxy" ? > Cheers, Hannes Regards, Julien -- Julien Cabieces Senior Developer at Oslandia julien.cabie...@oslandia.com _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
