[Sugar-devel] Physics retains objects

2010-04-22 Thread Sameer Verma
On XO 1.5 (build 119) and SoaS Blueberry Physics retains objects on
the screen after closing the activity and reopening it. This does not
happen on the XO1 802 build. Bug?

Feature.  A six-year old child called me on the phone a few days ago to
get this fixed.  I'd lent him an XO-1.5 to play with, but had
neglected necessary training.

Check that you haven't restarted a journal entry by accident.  It's easy
to do ... look at the activity ring, and if the Physics icon is
monochrome then clicking it will start a new empty instance.

If the icon is your XO colours, then it means that clicking it will
resume the top journal entry saved by that activity.

You may also right-click on the activity ring icon and select the
monochrome Start entry in the menu.  Or, in Blueberry alone, I think you
can use Alt or some other keyboard modifier.  (Can't remember, and can't
make it work yet on XO-1.5)

Oh, and you can't *not* save a journal entry.
