[flexcoders] Re: three and a half FlexBuilder bugs that drive me buggy

2006-11-01 Thread tobiaspatton
Here are my favorite FlexBuilder bugs.

1. Place the mouse pointer over a class name, or something else that 
you can control-click to jump to the definition. Click and hold the 
mouse button. Now hit the control key. The definition for the word 
under the pointer is immediately opened. This happens to me all the 
time when I'm pasting text into place. I'll click to the location I 
want to paste into, then hit control-v. If I time it wrong, the 
mouse button is still down and when I hit the control key, my editor 
window changes.

2. Drag and drop text. This is the 21st century, right? Why can't I 
select some text and drag it to a new location. I can do this in 
wordpad, why not Eclipse?

 I finally remembered the fourth bug.
 
 When you have a line like this:
 
   public function foo()
 
 (note the spaces before public)
 
 Highlight all the spaces, from the beginning of the line to the 
word
 public.  Hit tab.  The spaces are deleted, but the cursor now sits 
between
 the u and b in public, rather than being right before the p.  This 
happens
 in both the AS and MXML editors.

  something, and in mid-type the cursor will sometimes jump up or 
down several
  lines, putting the rest of what I'm typing at that new location.

 Okay, I have to mention this before all hope is lost of 
getting it
   fixed in the next patch.  I keep putting it off and putting it 
off.
  
   First:
   Occasionally, when I'm holding down shift and using the 
up/down arrow
   keys to highlight blocks of text, FB loses the first line of 
text.  I
   might have:
  
   line1
   line2
   line3
   line4
  
   I put my cursor on the line after line4, hold down shift and 
hold the up
   arrow for a few lines.  It changes from having lines 1-4 
highlighted to
   having 1-3.  I thought at first it was just my keyboard acting 
up.  But I've
   found this happens on two different machines and only in Flex 
Builder.  Very
   frustrating.
  
  
   Second:
   I have my tabs and indents set to two spaces.  When you 
highlight a line
   and hit tab, it indents it 2 spaces.  If you hit shift-tab, it 
unindents it
   *4* spaces instead of two.  It's always four (ie it doesn't do 
some smart
   unindent).
  
  
   Third:
   In the mxml editor, if I type in something like mx:DataGrid 
and hit
   enter, it looks like this:
  
   mx:DataGrid
   (space)(caret indicator)(space)
   /mx:DataGrid
  
   In other words, it doesn't put my caret at the end of the 
autoindented
   two spaces.  It puts it in the middle.  If I hit end, it 
positions it after
   that second space.  The autoinsert/autoindent works fine in 
the actionscript
   editor for curly braces, however.
  
  
   Third.5:
   Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly how this one happens 
but it
   happens every once in a while and really bugs me.  So I'll 
have to describe
   it very vaguely.  Sometimes the cursor gets put two characters 
into the
   block I've selected after I've done some action on it.  Really 
wish I could
   remember more.  Maybe someone else will recognize it.  Or 
maybe I'll run
   into it later and post a followup.
  
  
  
   Could I get some confirmation from other users on these bugs?  
Will help
   when I fill out bug reports.

I can't reproduce #1. Could there be anything you left out? Is it reproducable 100% of the time or is it intermittent?On #2, that's not a bug but a missing standard feature. I have a whole other list of those in my head. :D
