Hi, I've just checked the fixes in my laptop (ubuntu jaunty) and I've found some problems in the way that keyboard focus works. Every time a new editor is added a blue frame around it shows it has focus, which is fine, but:
- If one switch from the i-th body editor to the j-th body editor (by clicking it with the mouse) then the head pane gets the blue frame saying it has the keyboard focus. Pressing a key in the keyboard moves the blue frame to the j-th editor but the pressed character is not displayed on the body editor. Only later characters are written. - If one switch from the i-th body editor to the original body editor then the head pane gets the blue frame saying it has the keyboard focus. Pressing a key in the keyboard makes disappear the blue frame from the head pane but it doesn't appear in the original editor (so at 'activation' time the original editor doesn't behave in the same way than the other editors). The pressed character is not displayed on the body editor. Only later characters are written. - The cycle editor-focus command doesn't work - Finally (not related with keyboard focus): new body editors do not have any title at top showing the node tied to them. This can make difficult to work with several body editors at the same time. The tk gui adds top titles to body editors, which improves usability *a lot* (and looks very nice :-) Due to all this focus indicator thing I've realized that when there is just one body editor the focus indicator behaves differentlly on it than on the rest of panes. One click on the headline pane and a nice blue frame shows it has focus. One click on the log pane and the blue frame moves to it. One click on the body pane and the blue frame just disappears. Nothing (other than the text cursor) indicates that focus is on the body pane. I think it is inconsistent for several reasons: - from the gui dessign point of view (some of you may not agree with this, of course :-) - because not all body editors in the qt gui behaves in the same way - because the qt gui behaves differently than the tk gui. I like much more the tk gui way: every time a pane has focus the focus is explicitely indicated with a frame. Hope this little report will be useful Vicent. On 12 jun, 22:54, "Edward K.
