Re: [mylar-dev] bugzilla editor in new dev build
|
Eugene,
If you are are seeing an editable text area in the Existing Bug Editor
(not the new bug editor), this is a bug and should be reported.
I tried a number of ways to implement a dynamic resizing of the text
areas in the bug editor. Eventually I had to scrap the idea though
because the form layout just wasn't working well enough and was leaving
lots of wasted space at the bottom of each text area. One other idea I
had was to implement the entire comment area as a single text viewer and
using something similar to code folding mechanism to separate each
comment. I haven't tried this approach yet.
Regarding sash with scrollable form, I may have tried that layout for
the Task Activity Report a while back, but I'm not certain. Again the
trick here would likely be the dynamic text area interaction with the
resizing of the sash...but it may be possible.
Perhaps these dynamic text are / scrolled form layout issues are
something that SWT Designer could help with?

I actually wonder if description area should be a non editable like
it used to be. Then for connectors like jira we could have an action
to flip it into the editable area...
Another option would be to make editable area "autoexpand" or
collapse based on the number of lines in there (sort of emulate
"in-place editing", then you can even remove cursor. Not sure though
if it is possible to to such trick with SWT and forms, unless you can
intercept all the keyboard events and have a custom text editing
widget (not text area).
By the way, can we have sashes between editable areas and still have
scrollable area for the entire text editor? That would make it much
more convenient to deal with description and comment areas. I am using
this feature a lot in the web UI with "Resizeable Textarea" plugin for
FireFox...

Jira Descriptions are editable (unlike Bugzilla) so some changes were
made to the AbstractRepositoryTaskEditor wrt the handling of
Description. Optimizing the layout of the bug editors is ongoing and

I just noticed that bugzilla editor in new dev build is using text
area for issue description. That area has fixed height, so it is
never the right size: either too hight or too small and show a
scroll bar (quite annoying for stack traces).
I wonder what was the reason for this change?
Thanks
Eugene
