BTW it doesn't respect HIG 2.2 according to http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/windows-utility.html.en#windows-instant-apply "Do not make the user press an OK or Apply button to make the changes happen, unless either: [...] * the changes in the window have to be applied simultaneously to prevent the system entering a potentially unstable state. For example, the hostname and proxy fields in a network properties window. "
A compromised could be to rewrite the content of the entry when the field loses focus. -- gnome-network-properties: put the cursor at the end of the proxy entry while typing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
