We cannot reproduce this bug anymore.

[jBeata]

The plugin works as follows: if you move the map to an area with no bugs the warning will be shown. If you move the map to another area with no bugs also the warning will be shown. Basically this warning is shown whenever you move your map to an area with no bugs. This is how the plugin works.
This was tested on Windows and also on Linux OS.

Since I cannot reproduce now this anymore (on my home computer), I will try to reproduce tomorrow at work this issue. If i will find any problem I will fix it tomorrow. In the case if we cannot reproduce this issue will be added to next year whislist containing the improvements/new features of the mapdust plugin.

This is how the plugin works.

The problem is, that the warning comes over and over again. When I try to zoom to an area that has bugs, it bocks this attempt by showing this modal dialog. After each tiny movement you have to press OK. My suggestion: You could show this message in the map dust bug reports area (lower right). Maybe show the dialog once, to make the user aware of the issue.

[jBeata]

Currently the plugin works as you described: if in the new area it no bug the warning message is shown; when you move to a new area and there is again no bug the warning message will be again shown. As an improvement I will consider your suggestions.
A solution for this issue will be submitted next year.

Your suggestion was added to the wishlist of the next MapDust JOSM plugin major release.

Yes, please rethink this "feature" - it's really annoying to get this message with every move or change of the zoom. I would rather prefer the way the openstreetbugs plugin works (=no message at all).

Moreover, if the plugin is active, current visible bugs are listed in the mapdust window and if no bug is visible the list is empty (or should be - I cannot check it right now because the mapdust service is unavailable) - that's enough in my opinion, so I don't see a reason to get a popup in addition.

[ch70]

Check also ticket #5798 that I've just opened - might be related.

Aprox. the same issue.

[RussNelson]

This plugin is useless with this bug. Popping up a message to say that there are no bugs is itself a bug. There is no point in doing it because I can see from a glance at the bug window that it's empty.

[jBeata]

Solving this is in progress. The first version of the plugin was implemented in the following way: If there is no bug in your area the warning message will pop up. For the next release this issue will be removed.
Until then changing the priority to major, since we are working already on removing this issue.

[ch70]

Please check #5798 too - it seems that the plugin tries to contact the Mapdust site in the background even when not activated (so I had to uninstall it to get JOSM to work again).

Both these problems will be resolved with the next MapDust release.

[jBeata]

This message will not be shown anymore. If there is no bug in the given area, then the bugs list will contains the following message: " No bugs in the current view".
The fixed version of the mapdust plugin is: 25127 .
