invest-applet missing variation value
Last modified: 2008-03-18 14:42:00 EDT
Description of problem: The invest applet displays the ticker symbol, gain in value, percent gain, last price but does not show the change in price from the previous close. I believe it is called variation in the code. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.16.0.1-10.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. right click and select Preferences 2.enter a validate stock symbol, number of shares, cost basis, and commision and click Close. 3. click the pull down arrow on the applet. Actual results: The following are displayed: Symbol, gain, percent gain, and last price Expected results: The following should be displayed: Symbol, gain, percent gain, last price, and Change from previous close Additional info:
I've been looking at the code - and I'm not a python person so please forgive my lack of complete understanding. I was wrong in my interpretation of what the invest applet should display when there is the Amount field has a value > 0. It actually displays the values correctly. I should have turned this in as a request for a feature. Sorry. However, it appears that if you have 0 entered in Amount, invest-applet should display the last price and the change since last open. What it actuall displays is the last price and the change in price with a percent (%) in quotes(). For example, GOOG: +505.00 (-3.01%) What it should display is: GOOG: +505.00 -3.01 the stocked dropped $3.01, not 3.01%. If I could make a request that the following be displayed when the amount > 0 Symbol: Current Price, Change, % Change, Total Value, % Value total Change for example GOOG: +505.00 -3.01 .59% 1000 + 25.3% and for amount = 0 Symbol: Current Price, Change, % Change for example GOOG: +505.00 -3.01 .59% Thanks, Clifford
Hi, We no longer support Fedora Core 6 and I am currently trying to get my open bug count down to a more manageable state. I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX. If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on a supported version of Fedora and reopening? (this is a mass message)
