Description bugbridge 2007-05-25 02:40:08 UTC
Original status: 5-Cause Known; Suggested Status: NEW

Description:
Build 050906_2, WinXP EA2

Steps:
[1] create a new project and add to it some virtual forms
> notice the vf's legend towards the bottom right of the designer window
[2] close/re-open project
> the toolar toggles off the virtual forms view (ie. vf legend and toolbar icon
are not activated)

Description (Entry 2):
Changing customer type to external as requested by user on forum:
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=123&threadID=93102

Evaluation:
The legend state is not persistent. Should it be?

Evaluation (Entry 2):
I think that it would be good to remember the state of the virtual forms view
(on or off) between invocations of the tool.  In fact, I would expect that this
might be on a per-page basis, as once the user has started to use VF on a page,
they will most likely want to see the VF view of that page (unless they
explicitly turn it off).

Evaluation (Entry 3):
The designer view is not serializable now. Changing that, and serialize the
state of the virtual forms switch would solve the problem.
Comment 1 Peter Zavadsky 2007-05-28 12:08:00 UTC
As mentioned above, the designer tab is not serializable. Investigating.
