Description

This is on Electrum 4.4.4, Linux. A small GUI bug, hopefully easy to fix, so I report as this may come "surprising" to a user first, thinking "Whhhatt???"

To reproduce:

  • Have some very old payment request laying around
  • Create a payment request, that will reuse the expired address
  • Receive the payment

Current result:

  • This is on the Requests tab, sorry for localized screenshot. The old, expired request's status will be updated with "Not confirmed":

electrum1

Expected result:

  • As the arrow points on my picture, the payment that is being received is for the topmost request, so that should indicate the status! Not the expired one.

(I wondered who paid that old test??? So this is not good.)

Note: on History tab the "Comment" of the correct item is copied.

Thank you!

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Electrum 4.4.4 on Linux using the Qt Requests tab: keep an expired payment request, create a request that reuses its address, and receive a payment. Compare which request receives the “Not confirmed” status with the correct item and the copied History comment; done means the receiving request is marked instead of the expired one.
