Pass in smart fee slider value to coin control dialog #10582

   Since cfe77ef41 the global nTxConfirmTarget wasn’t being updated by the smart fee slider and thus the coin control dialog and labels were not being updated.

   I’m not sure this is the ideal way to pass this information around, I’m open to suggestions.

   Forgot to mention this should definitely be tagged 0.14 Not sure if it’s worth holding up 0.14.2 @laanwj

   It’s broken in the entire 0.14 branch

3. in src/qt/sendcoinsdialog.cpp:826 in 3e7cbeb23a outdated

   821@@ -822,6 +822,12 @@ void SendCoinsDialog::coinControlUpdateLabels()
   822     // set pay amounts
   823     CoinControlDialog::payAmounts.clear();

   Seems strange that all these CoinControlDialog members are static, but of course the pr isn’t changing that. This seems like a clean fix given the current organization.

   Yes the use of static here has always annoyed me too, but indeed that’s not the focus here.

   I’ve tagged it for 0.14.3. If there’s any issues with 0.14.2 we can include it in the next rc, but it seems that rc2 can go straight to release.

   @laanwj is it too late to change release notes for 0.14.2? do you think it’s at least worth mentioning that it is a known bug. might save some people some confusion?

    @morcos As far as I see, 0.14.2 is not tagged, so you are still free to fixup the release notes. Just make sure to ping wumpus on irc when you have opened the pull.

    I haven’t looked at the code, but if this is just a display issue, it is probably fine to only mention in the release notes. If this is actually ignoring the value from the slider, and users that chose a slow confirm target are effectively overpaying, we should hold back 0.14.2 for a few days.
