A Cosmology WU was running in "high priority" mode, and then Boinc switched to QMC, still running "high priority". At the same time, it requested a Rosetta WU, which after downloading started in (you guessed it) "high priority" mode.

Am I misunderstanding something, or should Boinc not allow work fetch from any project when another project is in danger of missing its deadline, or is it just Rosetta that's not playing nice?

My machine is a Celeron 2.53MhZ running on Windows XP SP3
Boinc version is 6.12.26
