Switching configuration tabs stops list updates

[neroux]

Clicking "Update now" under "3rd-party filters" and then immediately switching to another tab in the configuration appears to abort the update.

Tested with uBlock 1.11 on Firefox 54 and Chrome 58.

It does not stop it, it's just that the visuals are reset when you reload the tab.

Have you tried it?

Here, it does stop it. The lists do not get updated when one clicks to another configuration tab during the update. If one re-opens the configuration and that tab afterwards the lists in questions are still out-of-date and the update button is active.

On an unrelated issue, it is a bit disappointing that you shut #2391, without even reacting to my question (#2391 (comment)) as this does not leave the chance to a civilised discussions as to the pros and cons of that feature and the whys why some people ask for it and why you seem to be so utterly opposed to the idea.

Have you tried it?

Yes, all the filter lists are updated when I come back after a minute.

Thanks, I tried just that right now and yes, it did work.

My apologies, my bad, I apparently did not wait long enough.

May I still suggest to re-apply the visual settings when the tab is opened and an update is in progress? Could be low priority but it could prevent any such confusion. Still, my apologies for premature assumptions :)
