When looking at transaction details, "Receiver" address is incorrect. #119

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enable "Transaction Details" under Preferences - Advanced
2. Look at transaction details for an incoming transaction sent by the Satoshi 
client. 

I would expect that the "receiver" address would be the same as my Bitcoin 
Wallet address for all received transactions. But sometimes it shows the 
address that the "remainder" of the original address was sent to.

For example, if I send half of the Bitcoin from my laptop wallet address L to 
my Bitcoin Wallet phone address P, the laptop will send the remaining half of 
the Bitcoins from L to the "remainder" address R (also on my laptop Satoshi 
client.) Bitcoin Wallet shows the "receiver" of the transaction as being 
address R when it should be address P.

What version of Bitcoin Wallet are you using? 2.2.1

On what Android version and what phone? Droid 4, Android version 4.0.4

As far as I can see the transaction details window seems to always display as 
the Receiver address the address of the first output of the transaction in 
question.

This might be a change address, or even an address of a third party (if the 
original transaction made payments to multiple addresses).  This is very 
confusing...

Thanks, these are known issues. The tx details are very rough and badly need a 
complete revamp. I suggest using the link to blockexplorer.com instead (which 
currently also has a bug: it links to testnet rather than prodnet, but this can 
be easily worked around by tinkering with the URL in your browser)

The transaction details screen has now been removed (version 3.18). You can use 
the link to blockexplorer.com if you want to see details.
