Describe the QA issue

Issue seen while testing GH Issue: #9791:

- Desktop-Client Version: 2.10.2daily20220629 (build 7886)
-  Client-OS: Virtualbox Windows 10
-  Server Version: ownCloud 10.10.0

By Removing Sync Connection the behavior of the client still remains as described in the issue #9791

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Limit Bandwidth to 20 KB/s (or click really fast or simply have a bad connection, Optional: Enable Logging)
2. Connect to the server via the client
3. Choose to manually add Sync Folder Connections
4. First: add the a /root folder
5. Second: add a sub-folder of the root folder /root/sub-folder
6. Third: Add the /root folder again and while it is syncing select the 'Remove folder sync connection' of the 'newly' synced folder
   -> The sync bar of the newly added /root folder is just starting to load
7. Now the blue pending sync icon should appear at every added sync connection

-> Sync Connection is broken now
A Force Sync does not resolve the issue.
A restart of the client fixes the behavior.

That reminds me on how I intended to clean up that queue code

Seems the second sync connection waits on the first. After removing the first, the second still does not recover:

Workaround:

• quit/restart the client.
• then the sync recovers and becomes active and finally finishses with nice green checkmark.

Confirmed fixed in 2.11.0-rc3

❌ Dependency while adding multiple sync connections

Upon adding new sync connection, the previously synced connection will also start to sync and wait for the newly added sync connection to complete

The issue described here was for the folders remaining in the waiting state.
Which apparently doesn't happen any more.

Tested with ownCloud 2.11.1 (build 8946) c6dbf3

There is no dependency on syncing

There is no dependency on syncing

The difference in this behavior is expected.

With client 4.0.0, all connections sync correctly without being stuck in waiting... state.
