Go to "Preferences > Network Connections". If OS proxy is not set and active provider is set to "Native", you'll see only manual entries. Now if you change OS settings (e.g. IE proxy settings on Windows), the table on Network Connections page will not reflect those changes, even if you click "Apply". You have to reopen the dialog to see changes. This can be confusing for users. I think that users should be aware of the fact that native entries can be not in sync with real OS proxy settings (maybe a prompt) and either refresh those entries periodically or add a button to refresh them.
Created attachment 177420 [details] initial patch Here is a patch which adds new refresh button (position can be different) which refreshes native proxy settings. Szymon, what do you think about that solution?
Couldn't we just refresh the values when processing "Apply" and when the page is turned visible (when user switches between nodes)? The button would be only applicable to OS entries and for another providers it would clatter the UI.
Button is one of Szymon's idea so I decided to go in this direction. I think that it should be always applicable cause its purpose is to inform user what are current non-manual settings (even if a current provider is different than native). However, I think that it is a good idea to remove it and refresh list only after pressing Apply or/and changing provider.
Created attachment 178731 [details] patch without changes in UI Here is a patch which does not change anything in UI. Proxy settings are refreshed when provider is changed or preferences are applied (as Pawe³ suggested).
