Comment (by authorized_user):
Thanks for the explanation. I agree, "unintentional side-effect" seems
apt. However, I read through #1330 and don't understand how a scheduler
restart/priority issue ends up usurping '''established''' and ''working''
taskbar menu functionality in a fix nearly 6 years after it was reported.
As such, I disagree that there was a "good reason for the change" and
believe it's a perfect example of an anti-pattern. When a "solution" has
unintended consequences, it needs a re-think and quite possibly re-
implementation.
I have faith that appropriate separation of function versus modals will be
settled in due time for the benefit of ''all'' users. Until then, I have
no reservations using an older version when it better suits purpose:
Activating and deactivating torrents wholesale should be quick and
painless, not an exercise in various levels of frustration and futility.
For me, v1.3.12 works, and if a scheduling issue reported in 2010 but not
"fixed" until 2015 matters more than the established and working
functionality that preceded it, then so be it. As mentioned, I learned
long ago that one can't fight progress.

$ dnf -y --exclude=deluge* distro-sync

With that said, it's a praise-worthy testament to its quality and
usefulness that I've only encountered and reported two bugs (this and
#945) in the ~8 years I've used Deluge. Even when/if my particular
workflow is not important, I understand and respect the development
effort. Keep up the good work.
