Text classes

[Abossolo Foh Guy]

Hi,

"You cannot do hit testing on current Text. That is, given an x-y 
coordinate on a screen of text, which presumably represents a mouse 
click location, you cannot get the offset into the characters at that 
x,y. This is a necessary part of writing a rich text editor ..."


I understand the response of Oracle lead. All you need to implement that 
is already public. It's the reason why I asked you, if you want to 
implement a swing/text like module/package in JavaFX.


Best regards.

Re: Text classes

[javafx]

Created a github page with a  wiki anyone interested is invited to 
join:


https://github.com/javafx-iness/master/wiki

I am interested to be able to do hit testing on Text for the purpose of 
writing a rich text editor, among other things.

Hello,

If the case, I will integrate your community to participate.

** First, "Do it yourself" !
I recently posted a message about MathML support in JavaFX. MathML
display is broken since 2015. This is the same response : if that's a
priority for you, you can do it by yourself :

   "If you are interested in seeing that this bug get fixed
   sooner, then I might suggest that you consider contributing a fix
for
   this bug youself."

** Secondly, how to participate in this project ?
Ok, but my experience was not the best in hacking OpenJDK by myself.
Without several supplications and an active sponsoring of an Oracle
Engineer my patch would have never be pushed in the OpenJDK. My 
reponse

to Kevin message :

"I already contributed to openjdk specific bugs for the same reasons 
you
give me. An issue in the swing/text package. My patch was posted in 
2012
and accepted in 2017 for JDK9. It hasn't been a great experience for 
me.

I'm working on Math notation support in swing/text package.

And the day that I also try to work with JavaFx ... the MathML 
support

is broken !

I'm really interested in seeing this bug fixed.
That's why, I first contacted F. Wang from Igalia who worked on 
MathML
integration in WebKit because I thought that it was a WebKit issue. 
But

he answered me that it's probably a bug in OpenJFX because in others
WebKit based applications, all works fine. He suggested me to post a 
bug
report. Thus I made a look to the bug database and discovered that 
it's
an old issue. This issue doesn't disappear with the new WebKit 
version

in JavaFX.
And now, I'm trying to contact Murali to know what I can expect in 
the

future releases.
I would be happy and proud to fix this issue but there is no
documentation about WebKit integration in OpenJFX.
I hope Murali will add a comment about he plans to look at this."

** Finaly, I don't know ...
Murali added his comment in the bug report last week : MathML support 
is

not a priority. What I 'll have to do now ? No response !

I hope not offense anybody with my bad english. I'm a pretty
constructive person.

Best regards.

Re: javadoc changes [was: openjfx-dev Digest, Vol 73, Issue 25]

[Nir Lisker]

Sorry about the subject line, I believe the gmail web client is not very
suitable for mailing lists. If anyone has suggestions about it please let
me know (privately or publicly).

The schedule is fine for me, 2-3 weeks should be more than enough.

I have 2 sets of changes in mind. One is corrections like the various "Fix
typos in FX API docs" issues which I want to get into 10. Honestly, I want
to use these as practice for submitting patches as not much can go wrong
and they can be evaluated quickly (without tests, backwards comp. issues
etc.). I have the list in a "non-human readable format" so I would need to
re-write it if you want me to send it somewhere. The second set is
expansion on current docs which I find lacking (comparing to Swing/AWT) and
that is more extensive, so I would think to get it into 11 (or if a timely
interim version suddenly appears then maybe that). Should I formulate a
full proposal on the second set?
