Description Bernhard Merkle CLA 2011-06-10 04:59:59 EDT
Build Identifier: 

please see the attached screenshot of "Network Connections" dialog.

the checkboxes (marked red) really make currently no sense as:

- the are displayed as editable but in reality read-only 
so please also make the background grey to display the read-only behaviour

- however what you really want to display I think this (e.g. in the Proxy entries table) is: am I active or not. So togglein the active provieder also toggles the checkboxes. (however as mentioned above: this is a status information and not editable to readonly seem the right displaying style).

I would rather prefer to have the table "proxy entires" displayed with editable entries and deactivated entries, depending on the status of "Acitve Provider" box.



Reproducible: Always

not sure if bug#348998 bug#349000 bug#349001
belong to Update and hence to equinox/p2. If yes feel free to move them there.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
