Error description

• Test platform linux
  Synergy 7.2.0.1
  Link-based workarea.
  
  1) Create project's hierarchy
  Create a task
  Create a project named 'un' version 1.
  Check the workarea properties:
  -workarea on.
  -default path
  -symbolic link selected
  -mode absolute
  
  Create a subproject named 'deux' version 1.
  Check its workarea settings:
  -workarea on
  -synbolic link selected
  -mode absolute
  
  Create a subproject named 'trois' version 1, in the subproject
  'deux'.
  Check its workarea settings:
  -workarea on
  -synbolic link selected
  -mode absolute
  
  
  2) Check the workareas:
  Go in the global workarea to check all the projects:
  cd $HOME/ccm_wa/test720/
  ls -al
  
  Go in the project workarea of project 'un'.
  ls -al
  
  Go in the project's workarea of project 'deux':
  ls -al
  
  =? You can see here that the links pointing to the subprojects
  are correct.
  
  
  3) Change the project and subprojects versions. Check the
  workareas.
  In the GUI, change the version of the main project 'un' from
  version '1' to version '1111'
  As the option 'Modify this project and all subprojects' is
  selected by default,
  this also changes the version of all the subprojects.
  
  Check the workarea of all the projects:
  cd $HOME/ccm_wa/test720/
  ls -al
  
  =? You can see here that  the projects' workarea have been
  modified.
  
  Go in the project workarea of project 'un'.
  ls -al
  
  Go in the project's workarea of project 'deux':
  ls -al
  
  =? The links to the subprojects are still pointing to the old
  path.
  
  
  4) Disable and enable again the workareas without deleting the
  workareas:
  Go in the workarea properties of the main project 'un'.
  Select Workarea off
  The option 'modify this project and all subprojects is selected.
  Click on Apply
  Select Workarea on
  Click on Apply
  
  Check the workarea again:
  Go in the project workarea of project 'un'.
  ls -al
  
  Go in the project's workarea of project 'deux':
  ls -al
  
  =? The links are still pointing to the old path.
  
  5) Disable and enable again the workareas and deleting the
  workareas:
  Go in the workarea properties of the main project 'un'.
  Select Workarea off
  The option 'modify this project and all subprojects is selected.
  Click on Apply
  Delete all the workareas of the 3 projects
  
  Go in the workarea properties of the main project 'un'.
  Select Workarea on
  The option 'modify this project and all subprojects is selected.
  Click on Apply
  
  Go in the project workarea of project 'un'.
  ls -al
  
  Go in the project's workarea of project 'deux':
  ls -al
  
  =? Now the links are correct.
  
  The links pointing to the subprojects should have been updated
  in point 3 or 4.
