In general, the existing preliminary implementation didn't thoroughly address a number of subtle UI issues, such as: - interaction with inherited formatting - field-specific context menus - update frequency - cursor size and motion - click semantics - etc. I doubt that there's been an exhaustive enumeration of all the related defects, but several have been explicitly mentioned on the list: Bob: Field-related bugs ------------------------- http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/00/February/0240.html Sam: 2 field bugs (cursor and update) -------------------------------------- http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/00/May/0019.html Rather than trying to fix any of these now, I just intend to use them to help specify the intended behavior for the new implementation. Ditto for any new fields-related bug reports which may crop up in the mean time (hint, hint). Paul
