Package: synaptic
Version: 0.75.12
Severity: wishlist

I used the download packages only option to download a large number of package 
files while away from computer.

Upon return, I again marked the upgradeable files and pressed Apply.

The 'Download packages only' checkbox was still highlighted, presumably having 
been remembered from last time.

While this might be desirable in other cases (e.g. still have stuff left to 
download), the user would never want this auto-selected if there are zero bytes 
remaining.

This is not an unusual circumstance, since every time a user makes use of the 
checkbox at all, he will eventuallya arrive at this situation.

Suggestion: keep current functionality, but test for '0 bytes remaining' upon 
dialouge open and possibly deselect checkbox


Apologies if this bug report doesn't conform to convention: I'm quite new to 
Debian bugs.
