Description David Woodhouse 2011-04-18 23:28:02 UTC 
The box into which you enter your VPN routes has always been, erm, "quirky" but now it seems to be entirely broken. I enter "10.0.0.0" under the address column, and hit TAB to move to the netmask column, and my 10.0.0.0 disappears. I try clicking in the netmask column instead of hitting TAB, and the same happens. Is this working at all?

I have a bunch of routes to enter; I don't *really* want to be screwing with a GUI at all. What's the quick way to enter the routes that I *used* to be able to set with gconftool-2 to the string:
[10,8,0,0,4268,12,0,0,1419456,24,0,0,4303040,24,0,0,55168,16,0,0,59780,16,0,0,34438,16,0,0,26249,16,0,0,63628,16,0,0,46223,14,0,0,47247,15,0,0,39058,16,0,0,39324,16,0,0,8611,16,0,0,1108674,23,0,0,44998,16,0,0,24006,16,0,0,7884,16,0,0]

As a workaround you should be able to confirm the address with "Enter" (to be accepted) and then click to netmask to edit that.
There is probably some change in gtk causing that. However, I agree that the dialogs don't behave and have to be updated to be more friendly.

I followed the workaround, with a horrid combination of keyboard and mouse usage, to enter 18 individual routes.

When I next connected to the VPN, it still ate my default route. I went back into the settings and all my painfully-entered routing information was gone!

Is this a recurrence of bug 603774, perhaps?
