Tag sidebar: when both parent and child tags are selected, the parent should stay selected when the child is deselected

Hi

I also reported this in the forum:

http://www.cintanotes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1458&p=6006#p6006


If I select the tags using AND:
"work" AND "open" AND "open/important"

and after that I deselect "open/important"
-> also the selection for "open" gets removed.

On the other side - when I deselect "open"
-> only "open" get's deselected (and "open/important" stays selected).

I would expect the exact opposite behavior!?

If I deselect a parent -> all its children should be deselected
(if a task is no longer "open" it is also no longer "open/important").

If I deselect a child -> the parent should stay selected (if it was selected before).

Thanks Chris. I confirm this behavior, but I'm not sure its a bug.

The selection reflects only explicitly selected tags. The implicit selection is not visualized.

I think the behavior should be symmetric: Note that when you select 'open', 'open/important' is not selected. Then  why should 'open/important' be deselected when you deselect 'open'?

As you said: there is a difference between the visual selection of tags and the logical selection.
You are referring to the visual effect and I understand your argument and agree. This would be simpler to understand for most of the users.
I had the logical selection in mind - but you are right ;-)

So only this is a bug:
If I deselect a child -> the parent should stay selected (if it was selected before).


I agree, this is a bug indeed! Will be fixed in 2.0
