Cheering some recent improvements in table layout

by onepoint＠starurchin.org

Just to say that I'm seeing much better table rendering now. I have a page with a large two-column table. For a while recently this rendered very strangely in Dillo: it appeared with the two columns at opposite sides of the page, then the second column would move over to the left, one item at a time, to sit next to the first. But now the table immediately appears with both columns in the right place. I don't know what caused the strange realignment behaviour but I'm glad it's gone. Regards, Jeremy Henty

I like the way firefox is getting rid of more and more dialog boxes. Like the "find in page" command. In firefox the user enters the search string into a input field embedded in a bar emerging from the bottom of the screen. This has several advantages: * avoid cluttering the desktop (this is even more important if the screen is very small [think mobile phones]) * avoid to cover the search result (this is possible if it isn't possible to scroll the windows content in a way that the search result is visible) * you always know which search box belongs to which browser window since the search bar is a part of that window (this gets even worse with tabs) Somewhat related I would suggest to get rid of the location dialog (ctrl + l). As far as I can see it has offers nothing more than entering the address directly into the url bar, so whats the point? Make ctrl + l a shortcut that moves the cursor to the url bar instead. Flickering... there was a thread about fltk and double buffer something... there is no flickering when scrolling a page on my machine (there are some artifacts in the scrollbar, it looks like it is jumping around a little or changing its size) but if I move the whole window it flickers a lot. And one more obscure bug I just noticed while playing around with the scrollbar: When I switch from one virtual desktop (my window manager is e17) to another with a dillo window on it and try to scroll the page it doesn't work. Most of the time it selects text on the page (it didn't when I recorded the movie, typical...). The problem goes away if I move or resize the window so I would guess that it has something to do with window coordinates / dimensions not being correct. I compiled dillo with fltk2 revision 6101. http://teythoon.cryptobitch.de/stuff/virtual-desktops.ogg For automated regression testing and other cool stuff I'd love to see a feature to render pages directly to an image without opening any windows. That would be totally awesome (hint, hint). > A problematic thing is that there are no official fltk2 packages for > many distributions - or has that changed recently? Not that I am aware of any (debian has no packages) and since there is no fltk2 release yet I wouldn't get my hopes up... thing > I think, if we can then manage to get CSS support in, we will get > many new users. I personally don't need TABS. I agree that CSS is more important but it is also much harder. Tabs should be relatively straight forward since there is a tabs widget for fltk2 (judging by playing around with fluid2) and the dillo code is able to create new windows. I think that creating snapshots is a good idea since it allows users to test dillo and see any improvements. In fact I was thinking about making (daily?) builds of dillo and fltk2 and creating a 0install stream for them. I was trying to build dillo on solaris the other day (as a die hard portability test... It is amazing how hard it is to get anything compile on solaris out of the box... some blame this on linuxisms, but I say this is just solaris being stubborn) but fltk2 spoiled all the fun by being the failing component. I filed a bug report but since then (that was like 8 weeks ago) there is no reaction :( Cheers, Justus - -- gpg key fingerprint: C82D 382A AB38 1A54 5290 19D6 A0F9 B035 686C 6996 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIE/QNoPmwNWhsaZYRAiV4AKCEWdN3FV1uClZJcUF5pWYB7cCLnwCeK43S dcA6i4YiWOub7E7W1iGgpdA= =S+kv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

"View Page source" scrolling problem

by 4winter＠informatik.uni-hamburg.de

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey folks :) I found another bug / feature... I use a trackstick with mouse wheel emulation. This allows me to scroll text by pressing the middle button and moving the stick. Someone in the xorg input layer maps this to buttons 4 - 7 (up, down, left, right). Problem is that it is impossible to just scroll up. You end up being off by some degree and you get a event for left and right every now and then (confirmed using xev). Unfortunately this kills the scrolling in the view page source window: http://teythoon.cryptobitch.de/stuff/scroll-problem.ogg It would also be nice to be able to scroll left/right with buttons 6 and 7. Since there are mouses that have special navigation buttons (most likely also being number 6 and 7) it would be nice to be able to configure the mapping (firefox does this) for these buttons. That would make trackstick users happy and also those of us that are stuck with a mouse with those navigation buttons (I have access to one of those and the buttons are located at the left side so that you can press them with your thumb [not a very left-handed friendly design]. To make a long story short you just end up pressing them by accident the moment you filled out some huge form...). But then again, some people might find them useful.

Yes, that was indeed the problem.

But that's just > a minor issue. With the latest patch in CVS, it seems to do. Please test. The save dialog sometimes refuse to close when the focus is in the text input area and Escape works to restore what was there. I don't know whether this is standard or desired behaviour. I find this dialog bindings strange anyway, as it loses the filename when changing directory. If enough people find it odd, we may try to change it. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Followup: the dillo source doesn't use the 3-argument min, only the 3-argument max, so this bug didn't break anything.
