Description

Summary:

There is a warning dialog about unsaved changes every time the user navigates to the Settings > Interface > Notifications page, regardless of whether changes were actually made.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Open Settings > Configure Quassel
  • Click Notifications
  • Click another option (Highlight, for example)
  • User is presented with a warning dialog that reads "There are unsaved changes on the current configuration page. Would you like to apply your changes now? Save Cancel Discard"

Expected result:

There should not be a dialog warning about unsaved changes, if no changes were made.

Actual result:

An unnecessary dialog is presented to the user, causing confusion.

The issue is snore …
It doesn't allow detecting changed settings and you either won't be able to use "apply" or get this "settings changed" window on leaving

2018-02-05 16:47 CET <TheOneRing> romibi: its a hack
2018-02-05 16:47 CET <TheOneRing> it was the only way to allow settings on that page

Still, it would be nice if a cleaner solution would be found…
