Description

The following are already fixed (see the tasks referring to them marked as completed - try Show dependency tree above): - Left gray column is full height - Property name text alignment - Sort by importance -> category Background of disabled cells is different color - can't reproduce Show read only properties item - I thought we agreed a long time ago to eliminate it - it complicates the UI and offers almost no value; if modules are exposing useless information, bugs should be filed against those modules. Note also that it is not uncommon to have a "read-only" property that does provide a custom editor, but should look read-only in the property sheet. Editor settings | Fonts and Colors is an example. Properties in the events category are editable combo boxes - they have the recommended behavior of selecting the full text they contain when first opened, to make it easier for the user to replace it - same behavior as a text property. FYI, I've created the following individual tasks representing uncompleted items in this list: - issue 33817 - center the ... in the customize button - issue 33818 - (maybe) implement the "show editable only" menu item Closing this issue since there are now individual tasks for the various bits of work described here. Great progress, thanks! I checked the newest version and I found next issues: Texts (or components) in the second column (property values) aren't aligned and should start at the same position from a left side (it means from a table's border). This inconsistency is visible by text in Combo Box or by Check Box for example. There is a problem with a text in non editable rows. Right non editable text should be gray, but in the Form editor it's black sometimes (e.g. PropertychangeListeners value or TopLevelAncestors value). And left text color could be black maybe?...because it's name of property (it means label, not value). When Description Area obtains focus, then text inside is changed. It seems confusing a bit. Only white screen appears instead <No properties> text sometimes. This is visible after invocation of Option window. There is incorrect capitalization in a Context Menu of the PS. Please change it to following texts: Sort by Category Show Description Area Dusan, please create individual issues for each thing you've found. It is *very messy* to have 5 issues merged into one. We (as a core development team) have the *strong strategy* to file separate issues for separate problems. Please, do us a favour: - file separate issues - make them all block this one (which means this one will be treated like umbrella issue). Thanks for your understanding. Closing this issue so issue 33818 doesn't show up twice in the dependency list - makes tracking the issues confusing. All others related to this are closed. Closed. |
