A. THE BUG/ISSUE (Varies from issue to issue)
[ol]- Summary - Give a clear summary in the topic title, NOT here.
When using the main firewall application window, attempting to move individual rules (Move up/Down) within a group causes the entire group to move. If the group is placed in Edit mode the problem does not exist.

  • Can U reproduce the problem & if so how reliably?:
    Reproducible Always

  • If U can, exact steps to reproduce. If not, exactly what U did & what happened:

  1. Open Firewall Application rules
  2. select an application which has several rules as part of a group
  3. Attempt to move an individual rule up or down
  4. The entire group moves

  • If not obvious, what U expected to happen:
    Only the individual rule should move

  • If a software compatibility problem have U tried the conflict FAQ?:

It’s not really a bug. They have changed (and removed in some important places) ability to move rules and using drag&drop. To move a rule within a group you have to open group now… So on groups tab only groups can be moved with move up/down.

#4

Probably. I think someone has a mandate to make the interface less and less usable with every release. Just another reason not to move to version 6.

#5

Have updated tracker to say borderline enhancement, as the functionality is still there, but less convenient.

Actually, I just noticed that this is flagged by QA as fixed. Thus I will move it to Resolved.
