Bug ID: 511871
Summary: "Get New..." list randomly stops loading new entries
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First 6.3.6
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
With less reliable internet, the "Get New..." window listing items to download
will randomly stop loading new entries when you reach the bottom. There is no
loading indicator, no indicator that you reached the true bottom of the list
either (which you usually haven't), it just mysteriously ends and if you close
and re-open the new window suddenly the end is somewhere else. Sometimes just
scrolling up and scrolling down will make the list randomly longer, too. This
seems to make it kind of unfeasible to navigate the basic overall item list as
intended.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have slow and unreliable wifi
2. Open "Get new..." for any of the themeing items available in the system
settings
3. Scroll down until the displayed list stops
OBSERVED RESULT
The list stops way too early and often at a slightly different point. It acts
like you reached the end, there is no useful indicator of any kind that you
didn't, and there is no reliable way to get it to load any more entries.
EXPECTED RESULT
When I reach the bottom and it's not the true end of the list, there should
always be a spinner or something. When the network request to fetch more items
fails or somehow ends up not processed properly, which seems to happen 50% of
the time, it should retry every few seconds until it works rather than just end
up getting stuck permanently and giving up.
