> I am using Geonode 2.4 version (on Linux Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with

> (for instance the fill color), the layer thumbnail is not updated with the
> new version of the style but it reflects the previous one.

> For instance, to replicate it:

> 1. Choose a layer. Let's suppose it has a RED fill color.
> 2. Edit the style of the layer and change the fill color to BLUE
> 3. Save the style and go to the "layers" page. The thumbnail of the color
> is RED (should be BLUE)
> 4. Edit the style of the layer and change the fill color to YELLOW.
> 5. Save the style and go to the "layers" page. The thumbnail of the color
> is BLUE (should be YELLOW)
> and so on...

> in the wrong sequence, i.e. the new thumbnail is generated before the new
> style is updated onto Geoserver, and this explains why in the layer
> thumbnail there is the previous version of the style. (i.e. B-A instead of
> A-B)

> A workaround of the problem may be the following: when choosing a color in
> the colorpicker, click on the desired color twice instead of a single time,
> allowing a couple of seconds between the clicks. In this way the "style
> update" is triggered two times with the same color, and the layer thumbnail
> will be in sync with the style.

> Obviously this is only a workaround and it does not solve the bug,
>
> I made a modification in the "geoserver/views.py" file, changing reversing
> the sequence of update so that it saves the style onto geoserver before
> generating the thumbnail.
> With this patch it seems that the bug is solved.

> Since I am new to the mailing list, what should I do?
> Should I open a bug on Geonode GIT?
> Do I have to send the patch to someone to review it and/or eventually
> apply in on the trunk?
