Democracy UI out of sync after cancelling a referendum

[JoshOrndorff]

Start a basic substrate --dev chain and connect via this UI. Use the Extrinsics tab (or any other method) to create a proposal and usher it along to a referendum. Once it is in the referendum phase, cancel it (eg. with the sudo module).

Observe that on the Democracy the referendum itself is gone but the "no available referendums" text has not re-appeared. Further, the active count is still at 1.

Weird one. Cannot reproduce at all with 5 in a row. (And 6 & 7 in inactive tabs)

Since the "no available referendums" and "active count" is not derived from each other, but rather separate storage entries. e.g. active is democracy_referendumCount.sub(democracy_nextTally) it is not an "ui doesn't refresh when it already has updated info issue".

Wow, thanks for such fast attention to this. Playing with more this morning using substrate 0.11.0-56332a83-x86_64-linux-gnu and polkadot-js/apps 0b36006 it seems that the "no available referendums" text now re-appears as expected. I guess that's what #837 did.

Active count remains off after canceling a referendum. It still remains off after a new proposal graduates to referendum. It finally goes back to being correct when another referendum closes (regardless of whether it passes).

Thanks again, and lmk if I can help test, or pair-program.

I'm not clear what you mean by "Cannot reproduce at all with 5 in a row. (And 6 & 7 in inactive tabs)"

5 proposals in a row? Inactive browser tabs running the UI?

[jacogr]

Yes, indeed.

The linked PR addresses one of the issues (couldn’t reproduce it, but saw it as a possibility), where the “no active” is not displayed.

The active count (as per the picture) is a head-scratcher since it is just display of a storage entry.

[jacogr]

This should be fixed now after the multi refresh changes on the API.
