[Desktop-packages] [Bug 602809] Re: add Mouse Click Debounce Feature?

2019-12-13 Thread JohnWashington
This isn't just of value to people who happen to have a mouse that's a
bit iffy, who get a bad impression of Ubuntu because the same mouse
works fine on Windows (see bug #1).

It's possibly also of benefit to those who have difficulty with muscle
control, especially the elderly.  Maybe this bug can get a raised
profile if we play the accessibility card?

But most likely what it takes is some capable volunteer to write the
code to fix it and get a patch accepted.  Few of the bugs I've marked as
"me too" ever get fixed by Canonical.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 990541] Re: Libreoffice Writer freezes when Impress add picture dialog is open

2019-08-13 Thread JohnWashington
This bug is very easy to reproduce.  Here's how to do it on LibreOffice
5.1.6.2:

Start LibreOffice Writer.
Type a few characters to ensure it's responsive.
File->New->Presentation
(this starts Impress)
In that new window Insert->Image...
(that gives you a File selection dialog)

Don't finish selecting a file, switch back to the Writer window.

Try to type some characters.  Fail.

In other words, the LO file selection dialog is modal and blocks
everything else in LibreOffice.

To anyone used to using other office suites, where the word processor,
spreadsheet and presentation app are all independent tasks, this
behaviour is extremely unexpected, puzzling, irritating and broken.

And has been broken for at least 7 years.

2018-10-22 Thread JohnWashington
Affects me with one mouse on Mint 18.3 (also verified on another pc with
Ubuntu 16.04).

See extensive discussion, including how to investigate with xev, detailed code 
fix for xserver-xorg-input-evdev, detailed hardware workarounds for mice with 
contact bounce: 
https://askubuntu.com/questions/321816/mouse-sometimes-doubleclicks-when-i-click-once

I'm amazed the software debouncing still hasn't been incorporated.  And
debounce time etc ideally should be exposed to the user in the control
panel, to allow adjustment?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1365393] Re: Cropping tool does not function

2018-10-06 Thread JohnWashington
I've no idea what 'STRG' means.

I've used Simple Scan for years.  It's really handy.  Really REALLY
handy.  My thanks to its author.  Indeed it's open on my desktop at the
moment, I was interspersing some scans with answering mail, and one of
my mails was this bug update notification.

However, I've long meant to look at the source, because it took me
longer than it should have for me to figure out how to use it, and the
UI definitely needs a rework (IMHO).

My normal workflow:
* Item in scanner, press ctrl+1, scan completes on scanner, data is still 
xferring.

* Take item out of scanner, position the next one ready.

* When data has arrived, click on Crop (why no shortcut??), slide
rectangle to top left (why can't I set prefs so that it always starts at
top left?), pull bottom right to fit image.

* Hit Enter (I'm unsure whether I need to do this, but it's become a
mantra that works for me).

* Press ctrl+1 as above, repeat all above except don't need to hit Enter
again.  Each scan will have the same crop.

* Finally, press ctrl+S and get Save dialog.  Save dialog ALWAYS assumes
pdf (grrr, why can't I set prefs?) although usually I want to override
it and save as multiple jpg, which works provided I select jpg as file
type.

* Press ctrl+N to completely reset, losing the crop setting, which often
I would prefer to keep.  Maybe there's a less severe reset which would
retain the crop setting, but I don't know of it.

So that's my normal workflow, and I don't feel that I fully understand
what's inside the black box, concerning cropping and photo vs text.
Unlike some much more complex programs (Gimp, Office, ...) where I
really feel in charge, with Simple Scan I've arrived at a method of
doing things by rote which gets the job done, but which I'm fearful of
deviating from.  I feel that's a symptom of a badly designed UI.

But since I've never invested the time to examine the source, I don't
feel I'm in any position to complain about it.  I'm writing the above in
the hope that it helps someone else to use the program reliably and get
the job done, rather than (as almost happened with me), throwing in the
towel and using Gimp even for very mundane scans.  I'm ever so grateful
Simple Scan exists.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1132063] Re: Mouse settings missing from Mouse & Touchpad dialog

2016-05-13 Thread JohnWashington
Over 18 months ago (see #35) this was assigned to Iain Lane.  Why has
activity stalled?

'lxinput' and/or 'xset' may be workarounds, no doubt of interest to
those few who visit this report.  But what about the other 99% of users
who suffer but have no idea how to search Launchpad and find
workarounds?  The real benefit of a workaround is that it shows that the
job is technically possible and now needs integrating into the product
that's delivered to the masses.

Being able to adjust mouse sensitivity is especially important for the
elderly and others who suffer from difficulties with motor control.  I
teach retired beginners and this kind of accessibility issue can make
the difference between a happy Linux user and a switch to Windows.  See
bug #1.

My experience of software development is that if a feature doesn't get
done within 6 months then it NEVER gets done.  I hope I'm wrong.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 761781] Re: Gedit takes many minutes to start if there are many files in directory

2015-10-30 Thread JohnWashington
Hello Michael, thank you, perhaps I should be pleased that someone has
responded to my report.

However, frankly my overwhelming reaction is that this is far too
typical of how Ubuntu reports are handled.  It goes like this:

* a report is filed.
* nothing is done about it, zip, nada, rien, not even a response.
* FOUR AND A HALF YEARS OF SILENCE
* "Hi, we're looking at your detailed report but we haven't made the slightest 
attempt to reproduce it"
* 60 days pass
* bug is closed, devs congratulate themselves on closing many bugs

Is this really the best we can do to get the community enthused and
helping one another?

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  Gedit takes forever (many minutes) to start up if there are a lot of
  files in the same directory.  It also takes a similar time to exit.

  I had about 70,000 small text files (each around 1K) in a directory.
  Double clicking on one in Nautilus resulted in many minutes before
  GEdit appeared.  In contrast, other editors work instantly, e.g.
  nano, vim.  Even Open Office opens any of these files quickly!

  Perhaps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=922587=2 post #18 has a 
clue to why there is this horrendous delay.
  "I think I know why it takes so long to load: How many files/folders does the 
directory you are trying to load have? gedit remembers the last directory, and 
it could be the fact that your last used directory has a lot of files/folders 
to be read."

  It sounds as if GEdit is trying to be too clever, and whatever it's
  doing with the last used directory needs to be rethought.  Though I
  don't think this is the complete explanation, because I believe this
  was the first time I'd tried to use GEdit in this directory.

  Binary package hint: metacity

  - The issue has been an issue for users (especially of large) screens
  for several releases- Trackpad users seem to be particularly impacted
  by this- The issue appears to have been significantly aggravated in
  Lucid by changing the border width from 3 pixels to 1 pixel

  The window borders in metacity are far too thin to be used for
  comfortable window resizing, and resize handles are not available in
  all applications (or even most). In fact, of all the windows I have
  open right now, not a single one of them has a resize handle. The
  result is that I get a lot of "misses" when I try to drag a window
  border, which usually results in my clicking on the wrong window
  altogether. The best fix for this usability bug is to create an
  "invisible" region around each non-maximized window about 4px thick
  that can be used for resizing (in addition to the visible border). Or
  perhaps there should be a border thickness option on the System >
  Preferences > Windows dialog (although the default thickness should
  still be increased considerably). Ideally all windows would also have
  a resize handle but I realize that these have to be application
  controlled (at least that seems to be the position of the metacity
  team).

2015-09-22 Thread JohnWashington
Madbiologist: you write "This bug is about the default resize grab
handle at window borders being too small".

Can I gently suggest you read the title of this problem report?

"Resizing windows by grabbing window borders is difficult"

Window borders.  Nothing about a resize grab handle (which I assume is
the region in the lower right of some desktop's windows, is that so?).
And also read the substance of post #1.  It's about window borders.

I'm sorry, but if you think the solution to a request for set-ability of
window borders is to provide a feature in one corner of the window, I
feel you've misunderstood.  No doubt that feature is indeed a useful fix
for some bugs and feature requests, but not, I believe, this one.

So I would request this bug's status be changed.  Fixed is not correct.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 160311] Re: Resizing windows by grabbing window borders is difficult

2015-09-22 Thread JohnWashington
Seth, when you say 'Fix Released', does this mean that in System
Settings there is now a means (using GUI tools only) for the user to
modify the border width?

Anything less than that is, to my mind, not a 'fix'.  And I suspect many
others with hand/eye coordination problems would agree it's not a fix.
Ubuntu has traditionally aimed at inclusiveness, it should be striving
to meet the needs of many, not just young people who are fortunate to
have full health.  Making the border width easily modifiable would be a
step towards making it more inclusive.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 160311] Re: Resizing windows by grabbing window borders is difficult

2015-08-03 Thread JohnWashington
I don't even accept that it's  adequately fixed in Unity (unless there's
been significant progress since 14.04, for I only use LTS releases).

I teach elderly users with little or no experience of computers.
Naturally many don't have good hand/eye coordination, so they need to be
able to adjust settings easily to make the system fit their needs.  One
would expect this to be found under Settings / Universal Access, but
there is nothing there that addresses this issue.

If you look at Windows XP (I'm not familiar enough with later versions
to speak from memory) you can go into the control panel and set window
borders to whatever width you want.  After adjustment the result may not
be as pretty, but when you're over 70 and unlikely to have a career in
Hollywood, 'pretty' isn't high on your wish list, accessibility IS.

Please consider addressing this.  It would be a boon if you can get it
done before 16.04.

2014-09-30 Thread JohnWashington
Isn't this really a workaround, rather than a proper fix?  Presumably
when bi-directional comms are used there is useful info being returned
by the printer, so now that it's prevented that will cause the printer
to run slower or other problems will be ignored?

Will this be taken up with Canon's engineers, or were they not the
people who wrote the driver?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1346868] Re: Canon MX310 printer hangs when printing LibreOffice Writer doc

2014-09-12 Thread JohnWashington
I have the MX310 printer on loan again for a short time.  I suspected
that the behaviour, with the printer hanging up and requiring the power
plug to be pulled to recover, while Ubuntu was fine, is perhaps due to a
firmware error.  After all, no matter what one throws at the printer, it
shouldn't lock up, right?  But I've downloaded the firmware update
program (Windows and Mac only, grrr) using XP and found that the
firmware is already at 1.040, Canon's latest version.

On XP the printer prints the example doc (supplied above) without
incident, again using Libre Office.

  Canon MX310 printer hangs when printing LibreOffice Writer doc

  New Linux user reports problem printing letters from Lenovo T60 with
  Linux Mint 17 (Qiana) on Canon MX310 printer using LibreOffice
  4.2.4.2.

  I've borrowed the printer and done a fresh install of Mint 17 and
  Ubuntu 14.04 and reproduced the problem on both systems.  A short
  letter prints to completion as far as the computer is concerned and is
  removed from the print queue.  The printer prints the full text but
  does not eject the page, and the display shows PRINTING  The
  paper has to be manually pulled out of the printer and it has to be
  power cycled to resume normal operation.

  I will attach the document used.

  I've turned on the error log, but it's about 14MB, rather large to
  upload.

  I'll be returning the printer today, and travelling for perhaps a
  week, but after that I'm keen to resume investigation, though this is
  my first time with a printer problem so I'll be appreciating any
  guidance.

  In contrast, printing from Firefox and Gedit have not shown any
  problem.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1346868] Re: Canon MX310 printer hangs when printing LibreOffice Writer doc

2014-07-22 Thread JohnWashington
Thanks for quick response.  I did follow as much of that as seemed
relevant to me.  Can you be more specific?

By the way, I had difficulty following the instructions to turn on the
error log.  The gear icon in 14.04 has no 'Printer' in its menu (and
12.04 has 'Printers', not 'Printer').  Though once I explored 12.04 and
realised that the intent was to use the standard dialog in System
Settings, I got past that.  It's a wiki, but it's an immutable page, so
someone needs to fix it.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 12154] Re: Nautilus should have a superuser mode

2014-06-29 Thread JohnWashington
This one has always irritated the heck out of me, because I often don't
know in advance of starting Nautilus that I'm going to want to change
something in a root-owned file.  But I've been resigned to it because I
imagined there was some insuperable difficulty in implementing it.  And
when my students hit this problem I get a little defensive and tell them
it's not the developers' fault, it's due to the restrictions in Linux
that prevent processes gaining root, which would create a security risk.

I've recently switched to Crunchbang.  Imagine my surprise when I found
the file manager there can do what I want!  The file manager is Thunar.
So I googled for 'thunar privilege escalation' and found an interesting
article: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/file-browser-privilege-
escalation-done-right/

More than 9 years since this serious usability bug was filed.  Almost 7
years since that psychocats article.

The wonderful thing about open source development is the speed of
progress, the way that problems are fixed quickly and systems are
updated.  Really?

2013-08-25 Thread JohnWashington
@supersasho: Since it's (allegedly) trivial, how about you propose a
patch to fix it?  Or find someone else to help you create such a patch?
It's open source.

Whinging that unfixed bugs are trivial isn't a great way to get
developers on your side.  It just adds to the length of the activity
log, and risks a motivated developer glancing at the log and going away
muttering 'TL;DR'. :(

2013-05-28 Thread JohnWashington
On the contrary, why isn't it a good thing having a trash folder,
instead of immediate delete?  If you consider the trash folder for your
main drive is good, why not for a usb drive as well?  Behaviour should
be consistent, so that's it's easier to learn, easier to predict.

Bug description:
  Hi!
  Nautilus, when working on files within connected USB memory stick /flash or 
hardrive/, when a folder/file is selected and delete key pressed, files 
aren't deleted but moved into hidden .trash directory- which isn't deleted when 
drive is unmounted- also those hidden files occupy space on drive, which 
isn't visible when you choose still visible files /just to know, how much space 
is left etc/. that can cause a confusion /yes, i know you can manually delete 
.trash folder from usb drive, but- why?/.
  proposed solution? if device isn't locally connected /but is usb or esata 
etc/ than files should be deleted permanently- i.e. user should get a warning 
like you are going to delete your files permanently. you won't be able to 
recover them. continue? y/n.
  also, those memory sticks should be connected with sync option- so manual 
unmounting /i.e. with mouse, not via command/ them wouldn't be that necessary 
/it would shorten the time for 'ejection' of disks mounted/.

  bet regards
  simon

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1004994] Re: Firefox sub-menu initial letter shortcuts don't work in Unity

2012-06-17 Thread JohnWashington
I've found that in 12.10 Alpha1 I can restore the correct operation by
disabling Global Menu Bar integration 3.2.4pre add-on (which I never
installed, so presumably came as part of 12.04).  I don't know whether
I'm losing something else as a result of disabling this add-on, but
everything seems to work ok.

So it's not a Firefox bug, I'm changing it to globalmenu-extension

  Firefox sub-menu initial letter shortcuts don't work in Unity

Status in Unity global menubar extension for Firefox and Thunderbird:

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Firefox we're used to being able to select a menu (such as
  Bookmarks or History) with alt+B/H and then type a letter that
  corresponds with the start of the entry in this sub-menu.  This
  doesn't work in Unity 3D (I haven't checked in 2D, though I will if
  there's doubt about that).

  To be clear: sub-menu shortcuts do still work if they're underlined,
  e.g. alt+H for help, A for About.  I'm used to using Ubuntu 10.10
  where the bookmarks (and history) menus work fine as I describe.  And
  in 10.10, if there are several entries with the same initial letter,
  one can press the key multiple times to cycle through the choices.

  Please do not helpfully post klugey workarounds for this problem.  I'm
  well aware I can pick up the mouse and get around the problem.

  I assume this is a Unity problem rather than Firefox, but I'll be
  happy to investigate further if it's needed, provide detailed
  screenshots or whatever.

  I've checked that it exists on Unity 3D and 2D.  I've also installed
  xubuntu-desktop and logged into Xubuntu session.  Xubuntu appears to
  be using the same Firefox (same content in About box) but here Firefox
  works fine.

  By the way, I would have logged this bug several weeks ago, if it were
  evident how to submit bugs from a browser on another system.  I don't
  run 12.04 myself, I noticed this failure on my wife's PC.  It seems
  strange that I can't submit a bug just by going to bugs.launchpad.net.

  in 10.10, if there are several entries with the same initial letter,
  one can press the key multiple times to cycle through the choices.

  Please do not helpfully post klugey workarounds for this problem.  I'm
  well aware I can pick up the mouse and get around the problem.

  I assume this is a Unity problem rather than Firefox, but I'll be
  happy to investigate further if it's needed, provide detailed
  screenshots or whatever.

  I've checked that it exists on Unity 3D and 2D.  I've also installed
  xubuntu-desktop and logged into Xubuntu session.  Xubuntu appears to
  be using the same Firefox (same content in About box) but here Firefox
  works fine.

  By the way, I would have logged this bug several weeks ago, if it were
  evident how to submit bugs from a browser on another system.  I don't
  run 12.04 myself, I noticed this failure on my wife's PC.  It seems
  strange that I can't submit a bug just by going to bugs.launchpad.net.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1004994] Re: Firefox sub-menu initial letter shortcuts don't work in Unity

2012-05-27 Thread JohnWashington
I've checked that it exists on Unity 3D and 2D.  I've also installed
xubuntu-desktop and logged into Xubuntu session.  Xubuntu appears to be
using the same Firefox (same content in About box) but here Firefox
works fine.

So I don't think the Bug Bot is correct to change 'affects' to Firefox.
I've tried to set this to Unity, but this is not specific enough, so
I'll have to leave it to someone who knows better.

** Description changed:

  In Firefox we're used to being able to select a menu (such as Bookmarks
  or History) with alt+B/H and then type a letter that corresponds with
  the start of the entry in this sub-menu.  This doesn't work in Unity 3D
  (I haven't checked in 2D, though I will if there's doubt about that).
  
  To be clear: sub-menu shortcuts do still work if they're underlined,
  e.g. alt+H for help, A for About.  I'm used to using Ubuntu 10.10 where
  the bookmarks (and history) menus work fine as I describe.  And in
  10.10, if there are several entries with the same initial letter, one
  can press the key multiple times to cycle through the choices.
  
  Please do not helpfully post klugey workarounds for this problem.  I'm
  well aware I can pick up the mouse and get around the problem.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 976608] [NEW] Terminal menu view|zoom in/out shows ctrl++/- shortcut but numeric keypad doesn't implement

2012-04-08 Thread JohnWashington
Public bug reported:

The menu for the terminal shows View|Zoom In and Out, with shortcuts
ctrl++ and ctrl+-.  Using the numeric keypad for this doesn't work.
This is especially irritating for ctrl++, since on many keyboards this
requires a shift as well.  Besides which, typical users are familiar
with using the numeric keypad for this in other applications, such as
Firefox.

Repro'd using 12.04 daily build 2012-04-07 i386 with a UK keyboard
layout.  Also verified on 10.10 i386 using a US keyboard layout.
