I've run into a few small issues with j801 that I do not like. One: the horizontal position of the screen depends on the width of the last line terminated by a lineend, rather than by the width of the final line (where the cursor is).
This means I need to remember to hit enter after displaying a fat result. Two: turning on and off line numbers in an editing window affects all windows. This means that if I turn on line numbers in an editing window (so I can find which line triggered an error) I need to wait for them to appear in the main window (which might be very large). Also, I cannot turn them off from the ijx window - I have to come back to the editing window to do that. Three: cutback (on the stack) frequently fails to do anything for me, when debugging. This was also an issue for me in j601 so I expect it's probably silent error handler or a resource limitation or something like that. I know how to work around this kind of problem, but I worry about other people. Four: the config windows (Edit->Configure..) do not include any mechanism to take effect immediately when they are run. Instead, they run in the base locale where they are just clutter. I can think of several options here (something based on putting a cocurrent line at the top of each config file, or a menu option to redigest the config scripts or even comments describing how to update the live config) but for now updating config involves starting a new J session and while that might be the best approach it still feels uncomfortable for me (it is hard to play with the config scripts - I have to know which foreigns to use and/or where to locate the relevant code).
