Confirming the same. It's really annoying.

Now it seems to put the checkmark by [Untitled Profile], but it is the same.
Using Chrome 6.0.472 now.

I can't believe this bug is still here. It doesn't even map to any actual
profile you've setup. It just mixes and matches crap in a half assed way. Why
is this extension so highly rated again when it can't even do what it's
supposed to do?

Same problem.
I am using Chrome under ubuntu 11.04. Proxy Switchy went very well until chrome
upgraded to version 13 today.
No matter what profile I chose, it would just select <Current Profile> instead.
and I noticed that it printed the following messages to the standout:
"sh: cannot open local: No such file
Error while parsing options: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input.
Run 'gconftool-2 --help' to see a full list of available command line options."
I tried to delete all caches and config files of Chrome, but that didn't help
I really love Proxy Switchy and expect the bug to be fixed as soon as possible

Here Chrome 13.0.782.32 beta and ubuntu 11.04, same problem. It was ok with
chrome 12.
The gconftool-2 error depends on some sort of encoding problem with the "No
proxy for" field in the options. I've hijacjed the gconftool-2 making it save
into a log the parameters and the stderr for every call, and i've found:
gconftool-2 -s /system/http_proxy/ignore_hosts [<B8><A6><C6>^Kct] --type=list
--list-type=string
Error while parsing options: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input.
Run '/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --help' to see a full list of available command line
options.
Even clearing the "No proxy for" field, proxy switchy doesn't work. This time
the error is:
sh: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
i will try to fing which string causes the error and update the bug report.

The same for me (14.0.803.0 (Developer Build 90483 Linux) Ubuntu 11.04).
How to reproduce:
create profile A:
proxy: 1.1.1.1 port: 8080
create profile B:
proxy: 2.2.2.2 port: 1111
when I switch to profile A - ok
when I switch to profile B - a <current profile> appears with setting proxy:
2.2.2.2 port: 8080
It looks like it can change just IP address or port in one click, not both (IP
and port).
Workaround:
create profile C:
proxy: 1.1.1.1 port: 1111
and make any switch via profile C (A -> C -> B or B -> C -> A)
It works for me.

I was trying to find the problem inside the source code:
http://code.google.com/p/switchy/
but unfortunately i discovered that the library which actually switches between
proxies (npSwitchy.so) is a binary blob, as someone else already reported
(Issue 153).
i ended up developing a GPLv3 Application Indicator for ubuntu, able to switch
between proxies. You can install it adding my ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:domurb/domurb-projects
sudo apt-get install proxindicator
and get rid of browser-specific extensions.
Sorry for the OT

This extension used to work fine, now suddenly I'm experiencing the same issue.
I can't switch to any of my profiles, it's stuck on "<Current Profile>" which
points to an auto config file that does not exist:
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/caehdcpeofiiigpdhbabniblemipncjj/1.6.
3_0/plugins/SwitchySocks.pac?1311000795185ult

@domenico - Your proxindicator is really neat and helpful, if you disregard the
automatic proxy switching that Switchy does. I know that it uses a PAC file to
handle those switches, but it's also a very nice gui frontend to creating that
PAC file. I like your applet, but it doesn't replace Switchy in Chrome/Ubuntu.
... now to see if I can find a nice PAC gui file configurator!

I can't "remove IE's proxy set" (whatever that is) as I'm not using Winblowz, I
use Linux any fix for that?
