This was a common issue with treeview-like widgets. However, the DNS/search domain entries has been vastely redesigned since 8.04 and so this issue no longer applies to newer Ubuntu releases. I'm marking this a Fix Released because newer versions of Ubuntu than 8.04 don't have that bug, though I can understand and accept that it's not fixed yet in 8.04...
However, I'm not sure how much we *can* fix it. I'd rather avoid making small UI changes if even for adding a signal like it's likely missing to handle this particular method of updating the fields, because 8.04 has been released for a while and this bug doesn't seem very critical to me: there's a clear workaround. I agree though that doing this may cause loss of data in some cases. As an alternative, you may want to try using a slightly more up-to-date version of NM from the NetworkManager team PPA: http://launchpad.net /~network-manager/+archive/ppa ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231192 Title: [Network Settings GUI] "DNS Server" and "Search Domains" Add buttons overwrite item currently being edited -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
