Description

I got this question from TJM through the Enigma forums.

"Hello Jord,

Take a look at these graphs:

http://plikens.no-ip.net/plikens/298x81rav/Clipboard02.png http://plikens.no-ip.net/plikens/297xwdcgj/bug1.png

at the second screen you can see that the tooltip shows 'boincsimap' instead of hydrogen@home. Purely cosmetic, but it's still a bug. Is it a known problem ?"

I then checked the pie chart on the right in my BOINC 5.10.30 and found I have two entries for Einstein@Home, both 55.30MB big. They are the same colour as well (pink). If I then go further down the pie chart and check what projects the mouse-over says it 'sees', I notice that it finds the projects it found first again. I have duplicates of Einstein, Alpha BOINC, Hydrogen, LHC, Leiden Classical etc.

Something weird in the mouse-over code. And difficult to explain.

The cause is indeed the duplicated colors.

This was already reported on boinc_dev a month ago: http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/pipermail/boinc_dev/2007-November/009154.html

There were also a few additional comments in this thread and David Anderson commited a change to the color-generating code. It should now create random colors and hopefully no duplicates.

Replying to Ageless:

Think it's the same as ticket #238. :-)
