I disagree -- the "override", as far as I understand it, does not change the program state, but just allows the single requested action to access the network in spite of the program state. In other words, the ticket expresses an assumption that the override changes the whole program state for a limited time, but that assumption is, as far as I understand, incorrect. If I'm right, the icon displaying the mode as "offline" is still correct even during the overriding operation (e.g -- just because you're allowing a message to be sent, doesn't mean an automatic mail fetch can be triggered -- that other operation is still blocked by the "offline" state). The fact that an "online operation" is being carried out is presented clearly enough by progress bars, and in the case of sending messages, even a separate dialog box. Therefore, I suggest this ticket be closed as "invalid". > the "override", as far as I understand it, does not > change the program state, but just allows the single > requested action to access the network in spite of > the program state. That is incorrect. Check bug#4056 - CM remains online and you can make more requests, not just a single one. > Therefore, I suggest this ticket be closed as > "invalid". You are protesting against a bug report without even testing. I don't know why. FWIW: I can reproduce it also in 3.16.0git242 (In reply to comment #2) > > the "override", as far as I understand it, does not > > change the program state, but just allows the single > > requested action to access the network in spite of > > the program state. > > That is incorrect.
