Try latest, which is 1463.

The detailsview should be back to normal.

I am seeing weirdness in the test_gui test suit.  For instance i can get the
tests to pass when the are run one by one, i.e.
TestGui.test_categories_back_forward, but run the whole test suit and i get
a hang in test_categories_back_forward :(.  You can Ctrl-C during the hang
and the test will continue. The tracebacks here could be a hint at where the
problem is.

I should also note that i've modified the test with a method
process_events_for_time(seconds), i needed this for the tests to pass, other
wise i get heaps failing because the asserts are occurring before the gui
updates correctly.  I sprinkle them in where needed for the test to start
passing.  Prob not ideal.
