GUI misses some header updates when in IBD #65

Open fanquake opened 4 years ago

fanquake commented 4 years ago

Moved from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/9464. Low prio, could probably just be closed as wont-fix.

OSX 10.12.2, Qt 5.7.1, master at 2a524b8e8fe69ef487fd8ea1b4f7a03f473ed201.

Running with bitcoin-qt -reindex-chainstate, "Number of blocks left" in the modal overlay never updates, and remains as "Unknown. Syncing Headers (446424)...". Even though we've synced > 200'000 blocks. modal

This is only a temporary glitch. Copy of my previous comment:

Confirmed that the issue is still present in current master (5180a86c96) and "fixes itself"/ is worked around when the next header is sent to you. C.f. my comment https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/9464#issuecomment-270362394
