Comments and Remarks

Hi,

First of all, can I become a Reporter in the Bugnet issue tracker? I already registered there with the same name.

I checked out the last version from SVN and have some comments:
- the layout of several pages with Firefox or Opera is not the way it should be when compared to running it in Internet Explorer. The most note able is the Issue List. The list is placed underneath the Issue Filter in Firefox and Opera. Then there are these small misalignments across several pages.

- When you view an issue the Description is editable by default. I don't known if that is by design when compared to previous versions but if so, I don't like it. That also counts for the Comments and Time Tracking tabs.

Re: Comments and Remarks

On the My Issues page the amount of issues you can see per project is too low. Can this be made editable in user preferences because being able to only see 3 issues per project is annoying.

I have given you reporter access.

The layout has moved away from the yahoo grids because of the lack of control it was providing for layout so there are some inconsistancies with the layout that need to be fixed.

The edit boxes on the issue page is by design, although I may switch it back if people don't like it. It does make the screen look more busy.

Re: Comments and Remarks

Thanks. I must say this is a pretty nice issue tracker. So I would like to add some stuff which would be handy I think for more users.

I just started messing around in the source code and added a Settings page to the User Profile. I want to make it so that it can be added to the repository if people like it. Now I can do 1 of 2 things.

- either extend the WebProfiles class and add extra settings properties to it. I saw I then also have to add those properties to the webconfig to be able to save them.
- or create a new class in the same way for the settings.

For instance I already created a setting for the My Issues page so you can select how many rows you want per section.

I also would like to add a page( make it an option) to be able to add files to a release.

The icon I chose for the settings page is from famfamfam as I think the icons in BugNET are from there.

The layout bug is now fixed, I haven't tested in opera but works fine in both IE and Firefox.

I think there will always be slight inconsistencies between browsers, that is just the nature of CSS but any large inconsistencies should be reported and fixed.

This will only be true if the user has permissions to edit the respected parts of the issue. The goal here was to eliminate a lot of the extra clicks and post backs. The tabs have now changed to dynamic AJAX tabs. I may switch the description and summary to the way it used to work just to clean up the screen. Ideally these shouldn't be edited by normal users after the report of the issue .

I appreciate your comments and would like to hear more why you don't like the changes.
