"Delete" does not work

[Grydpype]

Is it an actual bug? I believe so.

Did you check if the bug has already been reported? I did not see this issue in the bugs listed

Describe the bug It is not possible to delete a task using the option menu on the right mouse button.

To Reproduce

1. Select any issue with the right mouse button
2. choose "Delete" in the options menu
3. task will not be deleted.

Do you see any error entries in sleeks developer tools? No

Expected behavior Task should be deleted from todo.txt

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

I also just noticed this. However, for me, instead of the task under the mouse cursor, some other task was deleted. Can you check if this is also the case for you?

@dlaidig, I think you are right. In my tests, the delete removes the first todo in the file, rather than the one you selected with the mouse. (This is especially hard to see if you happen to have completed todos in the file and you aren't showing completed todos. If the first todo in the todo.txt file is already completed, you won't see any todo change in the GUI.) The best way to see what is being deleted is to save a copy of your todo.txt file, then do a delete in sleek, and then diff todo.txt todo.txt.save.

@ransome1, I submitted PR #433 to fix this bug.

@Grydpype @dlaidig @CPUGPU thanks for reporting it and @zerodat thanks for fixing it. The fix is part if the next release.

This can be tested in https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/releases/tag/v1.2.9-rc.1

I confirm that in v1.2.9-rc.1 the task deletion works as expected.

[dlaidig]

It also worked for me. :)

With this release you should also be able to use del or backspace to delete a selected todo: https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/releases/tag/v1.2.9-rc.2
