1.1.6pre2 problem with Pref. menu

2000-11-28 Thread Rod Pinna

Hello all,

Just had a quick look at the new release. A small bug seems to have crept
in. I can't access the "look  feel" and "language opts" menus. Instead,
clicking on those brings up the "screen fonts" and "language" menus
respectively.

I'm using xforms 0.89, which comes with debian potato.

Rod.

Oops...user error

Perhaps replacing one of your users might be the solution :) I don't even
use windows *that* much, but its "tab" idiom seems to have crept in to my
mind.

As for visual clues; the only one I can suggest is perhaps offsetting the
top line to emphasize the structure. I suspect in this case though it is
simply the case that convention was a little unexpected.

Preferences uses nested tabbed folders.  Clicking on "look" makes the
tab folders nested within it visible.  What visual clues would help make
this clear?  Originally there was a larger space around the nested folders
but it looked a bit silly so I collapsed them into the compact arrangement
