** Description changed: - In the Startup Applications tool, selecting one item deselects others. - ~/.config/autostart was empty until manually populated. + [ Impact ] + + Opening the settings page for an application overrides the "Autostart" + setting for the previously seen app. + + For example, if you load the page for app A and enabling autostart, then + go back and load the page for app B which had autostart disabled by + default, app A was now inadvertently reset back to autostart disabled. + + [ Test Plan ] + + 1. Launch Settings + 2. Navigate to Apps + 3. Select an app + 4. Enable Autostart + 5. Select another app, that you know has autostart currently disabled + 6. Navigate back to the first app + 7. Verify that the Autostart setting is still enabled + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + The patch simply unsets the "current app" while populating the initial + widget list so that setting the widget state doesn't also trigger the + logic to actually modify the settings as a callback to widget state + changes. + + If some piece of logic expected the "current app" to be set while constructing the widgets, then some functionality in the app page may stop working. + However if that was the case, then such logic would have already been incorrect since the "current app" would be pointing to either NULL or the previous app at this point. + + [ Other info ] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 26.04 Package: gnome-control-center 1:50.0-0ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 7.0.0-15.15-generic 7.0.0 Uname: Linux 7.0.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.34.0-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue May 5 16:55:49 2026 InstallationDate: Installed on 2026-05-05 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 26.04 "Resolute Raccoon" - Release amd64 (20260423.1) ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - PATH=(custom, no user) - SHELL=/bin/bash - TERM=xterm-256color - XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + PATH=(custom, no user) + SHELL=/bin/bash + TERM=xterm-256color + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
