[Kmymoney-devel] Fwd: Re: [kmymoney4] [Bug 339044] CSV import wizard does not appear to be working.

[Allan]

I'd intended to cc this to the list, in case anyone can offer 
comment/explanation.

The patch I refer to is to address the incorrect display of the CSV 
import plugin, when on Windows and Ubuntu.  I'm only able to test on 
Ubuntu, where all now looks fine.

It consists mainly of modified UI files, with only a minimal code 
change, needed for the new UI's plus a small fix for a problem with 
decimal symbol handling which could/and did sometimes result in a crash.

I've produced it now as two Windows users have experienced this problem, 
so I'll also need a Windows tester able to compile and apply the patch, 
purely to verify that the UI now looks correct, rather than to test the 
CSV capability.

Thanks

Allan

That is strange.  I've looked at the code,  and those two radio buttons
are handled the same way as on the Banking/Investment pages, and all the
other ordinary buttons  They respond to a 'clicked signal', and the only
way I could see a problem with that is the pointer has to be within the
button, when pressed and when released, so if the user moved off too
quickly it might not get picked up.

I'll copy this to the dev list as well in case anyone else can throw any
light.  But, I've pressed those buttons hundreds of times with no
problem at all.  However, if two Windows users, including you, have hit
it.....  I could use the pressed signal as well, if that may help.

So far as the patch is concerned, it might be worthwhile to try on
another distro, but then you've used the git HEAD version.  I'll forward
it off-line, as it's fairly large, with the UI's being changed.
