It feels like this thread was partly triggered by my recent activity. I'm a new Leo user. I think the work you've done and the commitment you've shown to Leo are astounding. Part of what has drawn me to Leo is that it has a passionate champion.
I've found many small bugs in Leo that make using Leo more difficult, if only incrementally. For example, take the focus borders not working on Find/Nav/Bookmark/Task panes bug. I'm calling this a bug because the feature, to draw a border around the pane that currently has focus does not work in several cases. This is an absolutely minor bug as it does not affect core functionality. But it is still a bug and represents a feature that isn't working correctly. Until fixed a bug, no matter how minor, will continue to be a crack in the sidewalk the occasional user trips on. If it's not me bringing it up now then it will be somebody else a month or a year from now, and it will be just as distracting then as it is now. It's understandable and admirable that you want Leo's core developers working on making Leo even more revolutionary. But then who's job is it to address broken features? If nobody does then we'll end up with an increasingly large number of broken features being a nuisance. I apologize for the unsolicited representation of that nuisance. I will try to keep your goals in mind before bringing issues up. On Tuesday, April 7, 2015 at 12:28:50 PM UTC-4, Edward K. Ream wrote: > > On Tuesday, April 7, 2015 at 10:55:53 AM UTC-5, Edward K.
