Hi Damien, Pharo guys,

Here are my observations on my Linux (openSuse 11.1, KDE):

1. pharo opens in a window smaller than usual, half of Preference
browser is out of borders.

2. swapMouse buttons works again, thanks for that guys! Now just the
automatic platform dependent swap is missing ...

3.copy&paste:

-copy multiple lines from Thunderbird email client and to pharo doesn't
handle line end well. In Pharo the [] is added at the end

-copy multiple lines from Pharo to Thuderbird works correctly

-copy&paste between two Pharo image doesn't work well: paste multiple
images to another Pharo eats line ends!

4. OB Package Browser

- I really like the back/forth button and history, like on web browsers!
- still a bit slow on my 3.2MHz machine
- for search field, it is not quite clear when it starts searching
- inplace help in search field is lost after you search something
- ballon help could help explaining how to search?
- autocomplete search field would be just perfect ...
- or filter like search: you type some letters, after a second of delay
it automatically filter out classes starting with that character.
Something like that... We the web guys are spoiled with such fields,  I
know ... ;)

5.default look&feel, close/min/max buttons

- it would be really nice to us non-Mac users to put those buttons just
the opposite and make their meaning more clear (X for close, etc) I know
 somewhere the skin can be changed, but in so many preferences this is
hard to find even for me, who once already switched it. This both is a
usability problem, you should seriously address it.


In overall the improvements are visible and they looks usable, but to
judge that (like new organization of menus) I need to start working on
Pharo a bit.

Best regards
Janko

That's my fault. You get the window size I used when building the
image. This has nothing to do with Pharo or the VM and I do not
consider it as a bug but as a feature. I will try to take care of the
size next time. Sorry.

I confirm that and this is really annoying. I guess that bug came with
the unicode fixes some months ago. Could you please open a bug report?
In fact, in Pharo, when text is pasted, all the new lines caracters
appear as a box instead of as a new line (i.e., the text appears in
just one line with boxes in the middle).

See World Menu -> System ... -> Preferences then select Preferences  
Browser.
Then either select "windows" in the left-hand pane, and scroll down in  
the right hand one until you see "UI Theme".

If you're talking about dragging a window, this is fixed in 304, so
either update (dev image is 303), or switch off
fastDragWindowsForMorphic preference.

Cheers,
Henry

That was indeed the problem - I am playing catchup and ran across that thread which suddenly sounded familiar.

One thing I do not like is that debugger background color is again pretty much flat white (visary).  The buttons really should float over a different background color, ohterwise, they appear to be suspended in the text and the scrolling state is non-obvious.


Thanks!

Bill
