Here's a few bugs I noticed: For the desktop (Both Windows and Linux) :
* The behaviour for the Home key when selecting to the beginning of the line (with shift-home) is not the same as when just using the home key (smart-home type of thing). It would be nice and consistent if this were changed. * Repeating error messages when playing around with WD: sometimes, error popups will just come back when closed or clicked "ok" with J not responding to "break" either. I know I'm probably doing things wrong, but it would be nice if beginners wouldn't have to restart J because of an error they made writing a GUI. (I'm currently not at my home computer for giving a concrete example). For Android * The "same-game" in Help>Studio>Showcases stopped working on android. It seems the showcase window stays on top, but the game responds to touches in the background (eg. when touching where there should be the 1P or 2P, the menu button appears; the demo quits when I hit the on/off button, ...) * In the Android jQT, is it possible to allow non-character keys too? I know the lack an Android compatible text editing is an upstream issue, but allowing cursor movement with arrow keys, selection with shift-arrows, ctrl-shift-arrows, home, end, ctrl-c / ctrl-v for copy/paste etc would make it FAR more usable when using a Bluetooth keyboard (or a software keyboard allowing these keys, eg. messagEase ). * Something strange is going on when scrolling with two fingers on Android : dragging up or down in the terminal scrolls the text in the expected direction, but once you hit the border of the editable text area, the scrolling becomes erratic: sometimes changing direction, sometimes jumping to other locations, sometimes continueing ... I don't really see a pattern. Thanks for the continued effort to make our favorite language better.
