Greetings!
I have begun using the preferences pane that came in the official
binary [4.1.12] instead of always manually starting & stopping the
server. This is a nice improvement as Mac OS X client edition doesn't
come with this, and i've only recently seen it in the package.
However, it doesn't always display appropriate information. There's a
graphical symbol of a red square or a green triangle over the picture
of gear that i interpret to mean whether the server is running or not,
as it changes synchronously with the right-side button "Start MySQL
Server", "Stop MySQL Server". In between the graphic and the button is
some text: "The MySQL Server Instance is _____", which in my case has
always shown "running" in green regardless of whether the others show
the server as running or stopped.
An irritating thing is that the pref pane doesn't seem to follow the
actual server status. If i manually shut the server down the pref pane
still shows it running, even when i quit & restart preferences.
Clicking on the stop button in this instance of course shows an error
[no server to talk to], but never picks up the new status of server.
Is this something that other users are experiencing? I didn't see a
mention of this in a cursory search of the bugs database, but i might
not have entered it right... Or is it in a todo that i didn't catch,
or what?
