first saw it two days ago, now it seems obvious: every second time I start 2.1pre8-0-g1a6aac8 (2.1.1, which I tried in between, does the same)
normal auctions are shown as FP, no sniping possible (when sniping hasbeen set in the session before, the cancel sniping option is available)

Hi,

When you try to tell about something is not working as expected, it would be helpful (to us) to know your (environment) since we all don’t know what you have there.

Start with information such as the OS, version of the OS, and if it has something to do with the speed or performance, it would help to know what processor type, speed, and RAM configuration, and others such as java runtime version, how many other programs that you have running at the same tiime, etc. etc. etc.

I personally do not have (symptoms) of what you’d described. I am on Mac OS X 10.6.4 with current full update.

… I guess it is rather a bay issue than one system related. I watched it switching from FP to normal auction, each time I startet JBW. Now it seems to be stable since yesterday, fortunately in the correct status. I saw simliar behavior reports on the bug report site.

The system running is JAVA 1.5 :-D … as on most platforms, that don’t run 1.6. So the chance, that an error is related to the OS (Windows, Linux, MacOS) is quite small, if it is auction handling that fails.

My computers are running on MacOS 10.4.11. No system changes or updates during the time when JBW changed its behavior.

JBidwatcher (2.1.1-) just fixed this on my Win 7 Intel machine. Thank you!
