If anybody else wants to chime in on this, please feel free. If not, I'm going to proceed with getting these two fixes back in the gate.

Version 5!

https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/caiman/drewfish/7161344_5/webrev/

I talked with Steve Wolf about which direction to go based on everybody's feedback on version 4 (Thank you for those of you that emailed me / told me what you thought.) Based on people's feedback AND based on the behavior of the s10u10 text-installer, I've dumped the 'first-letter' jump and the timer behavior. We're down to supporting spelling only with backspace or any arrow key resetting the spelling dictionary.

I think this is pretty intuitive and there's no real need for adding complicated UI components like tracking the word as it's being spelled in some kind of UI widget - we're very tight on space in sysconfig/TI and adding another window would clutter things.

I've also fixed the random ScrollWindow traceback when you quit from a screen who has more entries than can be shown.

Please try this out (directions below) and let me know what you think!

Good afternoon!

I'd like to get some discussion (and a possible code review) for the following CR:

7161344 <http://monaco.us.oracle.com/detail.jsf?cr=7161344> ScrollWindows should support letter jumping

https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/caiman/drewfish/CR_7161344/webrev/


This fix adds the ability for ScrollWindows to *optionally* allow the author to enable "first letter" jumping. I made this optional because users may not want letter jumping for short scroll windows. Before going any further, I wanted to see if folks had issues or concerns with this approach.

If you'd like to try this out do the following:

export PYTHONPATH=/net/mox.us.oracle.com/tank/code/cr_7161344/proto/root_i386-nd/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages
sudo sysconfig create-profile
(don't worry, you're not going to reconfigure your system)
Proceed through the screens until you get to the timezone screen and try the letter jumping.

Once done, simply hit F9 to exit (when you do this, you'll hit another bug with ScrollWindows - it's 7160551 but don't worry about it)

Let me know if you have questions! I'd like to get this in the gate so Seth stops sending me angry email. :)
