Upcoming Tab Bug: 'Show Completed' Displays Active Tasks
Hey there! We've stumbled upon a bit of a quirk in the Upcoming tab, and it seems like there might be a slight hiccup when you try to filter your tasks. Specifically, enabling the "Show completed" option isn't quite behaving as expected. Instead of just showing you the tasks that are all done and dusted, it's also letting those still-active, uncompleted tasks sneak back into the view. This is a bit of a head-scratcher, especially when you compare it to how the All Tasks tab handles this filter, which works like a charm. It means that if you're trying to get a clear picture of only your completed tasks within the Upcoming view, you're out of luck for now. Let's dive into the details of what's happening and why it’s causing a bit of confusion for us task-managers out there trying to keep everything in order. The core of the issue lies in the inconsistent filtering logic between different sections of the application. While the All Tasks tab provides a reliable way to isolate completed items, the Upcoming tab seems to have a different set of rules. This inconsistency can lead to frustration when users expect a uniform experience across the platform. Imagine you've just wrapped up a bunch of tasks for the day and you want to review them in the Upcoming tab, perhaps to celebrate your productivity or to check off a completed list. You'd naturally toggle on "Show completed", expecting a clean slate of finished work. However, you're then presented with a mixed bag, including tasks you haven't even gotten to yet. This defeats the purpose of the filter and makes it harder to achieve a focused view. We're all about efficiency and clarity, so when filters don't perform as anticipated, it can really throw a wrench in our workflow. The development team is aware of this discrepancy and is looking into how to harmonize the behavior of the "Show completed" filter across all relevant tabs. Our goal is to ensure that whether you're in Upcoming or All Tasks, the filter works precisely as you'd expect – showing you only what you've marked as complete when that option is activated. This kind of attention to detail is crucial for maintaining a user-friendly and reliable task management system. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and want to assure you that we're committed to fixing it.
Steps to Uncover the Bug
To really see this little glitch in action, it’s pretty straightforward. First off, you'll want to create a couple of tasks. For the sake of this demonstration, let's set both of them to have a Due Date of Today. This is important because the Upcoming tab specifically focuses on tasks that are due soon. Once you've got those tasks in your list, the next step is to mark only one of them as completed. This contrast is key to observing the bug. Now, navigate over to the Upcoming tab. This is where the magic (or in this case, the bug) happens. Once you're in the Upcoming tab, look for the "Show completed" option and go ahead and click it. Now, take a good look at the list of tasks that appears. You should, according to the expected behavior, only see the single task that you marked as complete. However, what you'll likely observe is that both tasks are still visible: the one you completed and the one that's still active (uncompleted). This is the core of the issue – the filter isn't filtering out the active tasks when it's supposed to be showing only the completed ones. This sequence of steps is designed to isolate the problem and make it easy to replicate. It highlights how the Upcoming tab's filter is behaving differently from the All Tasks tab, where this exact same process would yield the desired result of seeing only completed tasks. Understanding these steps is crucial for anyone trying to diagnose or report issues within the application, as it provides a clear, reproducible scenario. We’ve tested this out on a Linux operating system using the Chrome browser, and the version of Tududi we were using was 0.86.1. These details might be helpful if you're experiencing something similar or if you're part of the team looking to fix this. We believe in transparency and providing detailed steps ensures that everyone is on the same page when it comes to identifying and resolving these kinds of user experience issues. Our aim is to make task management as seamless as possible, and that includes ensuring all features function as intended, no matter where you access them within the application.
What We Expected to See
When you're working with your tasks, you generally want things to be predictable, right? That's exactly why the "Show completed" filter is so handy. In the Upcoming tab, when this particular filter is activated, our expectation is crystal clear: we should only be seeing the tasks that have been marked as fully completed. This behavior should mirror what we experience in the All Tasks tab. Think about it – if you've decided to check the box on a task, you've finished it. So, when you ask the system to
