"Latest Transactions" from Livenet Still Show When in Testnet Mode #271

The "Latest Transactions" list from my activity on Livenet still shows, after I have switched over to Testnet. This is on Windows 10 with Mist v0.5.1 64 bit, I have not tested on Ubuntu yet.

I confirmed the same issue is in Mist v0.5.1 Linux 64 bit.

Yes they do, as we don't hide, or delete them.

Its actually quite hard, because if you start your own private network, we can't know which of these is which network.

Private testnet is also for developers and not normal users, so i find this as a problem with very little priority. Mist is an end user tool and not mainly a developers tools

Cool, was just reporting things that I thought may be bugs. FYI, I found the unicorn while bug hunting. :smile: lol

One option is when using the wallet in a development environment, to run it in a sandbox with geth. The issue for me is AlethZero keeps crashing now when trying to run it in a sandboxed environment :/, hence my Ethereum Wallet gets congested with Private-net details.

There should at least be an option to hide or delete them, or better yet, if the transactions can be differentiated based on net-type connection, just write the logs to a different file. I see that mist does indeed see when it's a private-net, a test-net, or main-net.
