Bug#623605: gnome-system-monitor: Network usage drops on mouseover

[Conrad Hughes]

Package: gnome-system-monitor
Version: 2.28.1-1
Severity: normal


Waving the mouse over the network graph (in order to bring up the tool
tip with actual bandwidth figures) causes the graph to plummet:

  1) Open preferences and tick "network" to bring up the network usage
     graph.
  2) Start a long down/upload.
  3) Watch the steady high network usage graph.
  4) Move the pointer over the network graph to see the Receiving/
     Sending tooltip, then off the graph and back on again; repeat.
  5) Watch the graph drop from high usage to (seemingly) very low.

This weirdness is visible on all Debian systems I have access to, not
just wheezy.

Regards,
Conrad
