[Bug 578404] Re: GUFW erases the rule not selected to be erased

 

Hi Marcos,
¿Qué tal estás?

I just saw your video. Yes it works fine there. However, I consistently
get the said error.

In my case, I have arranged to deny all incoming connections AND also to deny all outgoing 
but I just opened the ports for outgoing connections that actually I do use. 

Perhaps if you set-up the firewall with deny also for outgoing
connections this error will happen to you, too.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

1) Set-up the firewall to deny all by default (incoming and outgoing, as well).
2) Add some rules to allow outgoing connections and allow some incoming rule (I just added allow 
incoming connections on aleatory port 958).
3) Then just try to erase it (select the just added incoming rule to be erased, then click in the remove button)
4) Instead the selected incoming rule being erased, Gufw erases some another rule, again and once again.

I just saw that if you select some outgoing rule to be removed.. it's also not erased but it's removed some other rule. 
This seemed not to happen if there was not any incoming rule, but only outgoing rules.

I attach you the log file and some screenshots.

If you tell me how to make a video of the desktop, I will attach it as
well.

Regards,
Victor

Bug description:
Hello,

The new GUFW for the 10.04 version of Ubuntu has the new and nice feature of being able to block/allow
also outgoing connections,.. GUFW is now at the same level of security than Guarddog was. 

It makes Ubuntu still safer. And, as per I know, GUFW really works OK for incoming and outgoing connections.

I have found one small bug, however: When I try to erase a rule it's erased some another rule, instead. Curiously,
this only happens trying to erase rules allowing incoming connections. 

This is somehow annoying because trying to erase the incoming rule.. One may end up erasing most other rules,
before.
