Payment Status column in Admin Orders screen

Hey I'm seeing something weird and I don't know if it's a bug, my bad eyesight or the phase of the moon.

This just started within the last few days. I will receive an email from paypal that a payment has been received. I'll log into the admin page and click orders.
I'll have a new order and it's "Payment" column indicator will be yellow and labelled "Captured". This is unusual - it's always green and says "Paid" when payment has been received.

So I'll click the details link to view the order payment. Everything looks normal so I click back to the Orders screen.

Now it's green and says "Paid". There's no way it could have just been strange timing on my part; the email notification arrived 90 minutes earlier.

Say what?? :shock:

I talked about this in my paypal bug post. Its only with express checkouts and it happens with them all. They dont switch to "payment completed" until you view it.

Ok, glad it's not just me.

It's happened so quickly that I could never quite convince myself 100% that it even happened.

Sort of reminds me of my last marriage :)
