WinMOOSE: Known Bugs / Unimplemented Features


Tests to Conduct:
* Test Implode/Explode more thoroughly.
* Make sure \ escapes make sense in editor windows.
* Track down those pesky line numbering bugs!
x Check ALL scrolling windows (feedback, history) for overflow. [Done: the windows don't autodelete but that's not a problem.]

Interface:
* ASK before closing main telnet window.
* UNDO is not implemented.
* We should grey-out text entry areas until the editor is initialized.
* Input/Command History should merge on main telnet window.
* The command history splits wraparound commands.
* User should be able to click on the command history.
+ Re-examine font settings for the mail & help boxes.
+ Multi-line property box list conversion dialog could have better wording.
+ Implode/Explode could have better names.
+ Getting nicer icons in the alt-tab box would be good.
+ Clicking on the main menu taskbar entry might be nice.
+ When not connected, certain windows give their name and others just say (unconnected window).

Bugs:
* Font size changes BACK to 12 pt in feedback window of editors.
* Font size changes BACK to 12 pt when deleting scrollback in main telnet.
* $MacMOOSE_utils handles \ differently in lists than in regular properties.
* Line numbering sometimes doesn't give enough spaces until the second line.
* Line numbering sometimes leaves off the last line.
* Explode should be grayed on a non-explodable property.
+ There is a bug where the main telnet window doesn't scroll quite all the way down upon receiving new text.
+ "Create on child..." fills the edit box with the parent's script! Weird.
+ Detect network timeout.
+ There is some blinking upon startup if the telnet window exceeds the text within it.

Missing Functionality:
+ Dragable Splitters would be good.
+ Line-Numbering in mail window would be nice.
+ If a window is open, use that instead of a new one.
+ Preferences dialog.
+ CTRL-# does not switch to another Telnet window (for those hardcore MOO junkies).

Advanced Features:
+ Colored text is not used on the Browser window.
+ Verb support is not present.

Optional Features:
- Saving output to a file.
- Logging of bugs rather than a message box.
