Yes, i have seen this ticket in the past. To detect whether an XO is actually there or not, is a simple task to accomplish, and I am currently working on a simple script that will give a list of the properly connected XOs, along with the temporarily disconnected.
It is a very useful idea to display this information in the neighbor view, in terms of a dotted line, or a grey color perhaps. The problem is that the bugs are dealt with according to priority, and generally enhancements although very practical, can cause other bugs, or take several builds until they work properly. Since we are in "code freeze", a quick solution must be implemented to solve the current situation, ie that it takes up to an hour for a disconnected xo to dissapear(just reported as #4735). yani On Nov 7, 2007 5:49 PM, Eben Eliason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > 1.
