Differences in progress bar reporting in web and Eclipse UI

Just taking a quick look at the two screenshots I notice that in the Web
UI you have the checkbox to "Exclude: Resolved" selected, but in the
Eclipse UI you don't. If you set this filter to be the same in both, do
you see the same data?

Hi,

We are seeing different behaviour regarding the progress bar in the
web and Eclipse UIs. An example:

Web UI:

Eclipse UI:

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/204132/eclipseui.png

On an individual basis there is a clear discrepancy between the
figures reported, and secondly it doesn't appear to be a regular
discrepancy.

So, two questions: is this known, and if so which UI reports
authoritative data?

Hi Jared,

No, there are still significant differences (i.e. more than the odd hour, largest is 6h apart) between the two UIs with that option the same (both off and both on)

UI you have the checkbox to "Exclude: Resolved" selected, but in the
Eclipse UI you don't. If you set this filter to be the same in both, do

recently we became aware of some discrepancies between the two
implementations. While we tried hard to make them behave the same, it
looks like we failed in some cases. Unfortunately, the Web UI and the
Eclipse UI do neither share code nor the backing plan model. For the 1.1
release, we are working on some code sharing between the Eclipse UI and
the Web UI, in order to avoid such discrepancies in the future.

While it is hard to say which of the two UIs displays the authoritative
data (without having manually inspected the actual data), I tend to say
that the Eclipse UI is probably correct about the progress. This is
because we developed the progress algorithms for the Eclipse UI first,
then ported them to the Web UI.

The filters only hide elements but do not affect progress calculation.
