[Bug 1414148] [NEW] Printers Properties dialog not updating Device URI field.

 

Public bug reported:

Ubunto 14.04 LTS 64 bit recent clean installation, fully updated.
To view this problem:
  o Dash > Printers
  o Right-click on a defined printer > Select context menu item "Properties" to display the Printer Properties dialog
  o In the Printers Properties dialog left-pane, select "Settings"
  o On the "Device URI" line, click the "Change..." button to display the Change Device URI dialog
  o In the Change Device URI dialog left-pane, select either "Current device (Current)" or "Enter URI"
  o In the "Enter Device URI" field modify the URI.
  o Click the "Apply button" (this closes the Change Device URI dialog)
  o The Printer Properties dialog, "Device URI" field does not display the change (I expect it to display the change). If you close the Printer Properties dialog and reopen it, the change is displayed.  So this appears to be simply a user interface issue. 

Note that when changing the device URI directly from the Printer
Properties dialog "Device URI' field, the change is property displayed.
