I'm experiencing a really annoying bug (and reported it), but it seems I'm the only one - so I thought maybe I could ask the community to provide feedback and check if it happens to some of you, too:

I have the RSS reader set to auto-refresh. Also, I have the RSS reader applet on one of my desktops.

Now when I set the device to offline mode (which I do to save battery), after a while I'll get a message asking if I want to leave offline mode again (yes/no). This is only a cosmetical issue when the device is in offline mode overnight, but it starts to get annoying when I actually use the device (like, writing a note).

It took me a while to figure out where this message comes from, because it doesn't say "RSS Reader: Do you..." or so. But this is part of the problem now: I think I identified the RSS applet as the culprit, because when I set the RSS reader to not automatically update or removed the applet, the problem was gone.
Still, sometimes I don't get the message, even though the circumstances are the same. So I can't be 100% sure.

This is why I would ask those of you who use the RSS applet anyway:
Do you get this message after a while when you go to offline mode? (It should appear after the interval you set for updating; so when you say "update every 15mins" it should appear after 15mins)

If so, please vote for the bug to confirm it. (I really want to see it gone in PR1.2, but so far the bug report is just dead.)

If not, please - well, dont know - please help me think.
What else could it be? Or maybe, what other settings could influence the behavior of the RSS application?

Funny, isn't it? Either people don't use the rss applet or they never activate offline mode - or it is a bug that's triggered by some very rare conditions and doesn't affect anybody else but the two uf us. (three us us, actually: i own two N900s and both of them show this message when i set them to oflfine mode.)

Its same for me too, but I didnt tried offline mode, instead; Every 30 minutes(my RSS interval) even if my phone locked, it searches for available WLANs and keeps asking me to select one of them.

Oh, I found a bug report about it: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8002 I think its related with yours too.

After the PR1.1, the RSS Feed Reader has completely gone crazy.
If you are not connected to the Internet (and with automatic updates set only when connected) it asks for connection; if you are in Offline Mode, it asks you to leave it and connect; if you set automatic updates only when connected to Wifi, it updates even when on GPRS connections.

These bugs are pretty annoying. I've voted for yours benny, thanks for reporting.
