Oh, good, let's mark this bug as fixed in 1.81 then :)

Probably because it is unmaintained.

I didn't see there was a new version, but it was a good hint: I just tested 
and the bug seems fixed. Is there a reason why basket 1.81 is still in 
experimental since 2010? The changelog just mentions “new upstream release”.

Apparently, basket 1.80 == 2.0 beta 1, and 1.81 == 2.0 beta 2, so there is no 
reason to keep 1.81 out of unstable because it's a beta version, since the 
current version is also a beta. Plus there is no newer upstream version.

Cheers,
  Matteo

Did you try to reproduce with basket versioned 1.81 from experimental?

Fair enough. TBH, I didn't investigate this issue very deeply. I was
more concerned by the maintenance status of the package.

There are still ways to loose data. If you paste a note and clic on it while 
it appears as empty, it is actually deleted (it disappears once you select 
something else). If you sill have the cut note in memory you can re-paste it, 
but that is not always the case (e.g. if you copy or cut another note in the 
meanwhile).

Bug#587544: is basket abandoned?

2012-03-29 Thread Mehdi Dogguy
There is an RC bug reported against "basket" two years ago, and still
open. AFAICS, there is no answer from the maintainers on the bugreport.
Is basket still maintained?

Besides, I'm not sure about the severity. Upstream seems to have a
workaround. IIUC, the notes are not really disappearing but just not
shown (only shown after a restart). The maintainer could reduce the
severity to "important" if he desires so.
