I will be highly relieved when that gets sorted out. Because the whole user interaction can get trapped in the getResponse loop, I am constantly trying to guess whether this or that broken behaviour is just another case of getResponse capture. Anyway to answer your question, I would (predictably) recommend you look at the bug list for inspiration. On my working notes for the open bugs, the biggest category is for UI issues, so its not hard to find possibilities. Here are my picks: - BR#1694733 Some dialogs should not be resizeable This is our oldest open bug, so it deserves some time. I believe it is currently assigned to Nick, but I doubt he would object if it was fixed. - There are several bugs connected to handling of double-clicks (BR#2808496, BR#2880406, BR#3293020). - BR#2930345, where the colony dialogs disappear behind the colony panel, which makes the game appear to hang. Very annoying to the unwary user. On more structural matters: - I recently re-enabled some tests for headless mode. For testing purposes, it would be nice if it actually worked. - I there is a single file that could do with a clean up, my pick would be DefaultTransferHandler.java. DragListener is close behind.
