Description Carlos Robinson 2007-03-06 12:14:26 UTC 
The list "show patch category" in YOU does not remember status from session to session. In 10.1 I had it set to show "Installable and installed patches", and it remembered that setting the next time. Now it doesn't, it is always at "Installable patches" at start session.

Has it really worked that way in 10.1?
Comment 2 Stefan Hundhammer 2007-03-07 10:30:22 UTC 
It never remembered its setting.

You might have been the one lucky user who wanted the default we had to ship with 10.0 and 10.1: Always show all patches (most users were not at all happy at all with that). That corresponds to "installable and installed patches". As a matter of fact, in 10.0 and 10.1 that combo box wasn't even there because of that limitation. ;-)

That was changed with fixing bug #183735. Now you see only the relevant patches by default, i.e., the ones that are not installed yet. A lot of users had been very confused because the patches they already had installed kept showing up.

Other than that, this would be yet another setting to handle with session management -> bug #58579.

Ok, I'll accept your word about YOU behaviour in 10.1, you must be right. I would have to try it out to make sure: with your explanation, I'm confused now as to what I do really remember O:-)
