[Bug 755283] Re: plain text in shortcuts prevent typing that character in terminal.

2011-04-09 Thread Peter Leon Collins
Start Menu  Accessories  Terminal
When terminal has started and prompt is displayed, type 'u' with or without the 
quotes.
The main menu line at the top of the terminal window will toggle between 
display and hide each time the lower case u is pressed.
When the menu line at the top of terminal is visible, click on View. The top 
entry is Show Menubar and the keyboard shortcut shown at the right side of the 
menu display is a U which is shown in upper case. However I find that upper 
case U does not have this effect, only the lower case u toggles the menu.

On the menu bar click Edit, click Keyboard shortcuts. Deselect Enable
menu access keys. Click Close. The words on the menu bar show no
underlines. Type u. Menu no longer displays. Type u. Menu re-displays.
Click Edit, click Keyboard shortcuts. Enable menu access keys. Click
Close. Hold alt, press v, release alt, press m. The menu no longer
displays. Repeat alt-v ... nothing happens. Type u and the menu bar
displays.

Let's try to change the shortcut for menubar (currently u) to ctrl+alt+u
(ctrl and ctrl+shift are already in use). Alt e k. Scroll in shortcut
keys to view hide and show menubar, key U (which ought be u but let's
not get too fussy - though if you can make such a change for all letters
to which it is relevant, that would not be a bad thing to do). The Gnome
Terminal help file states Viewing the Keyboard Shortcut Settings but
of course I want to change them. There is no 'button' for doing so.
Right click in the line. Nothing. Left click. Nothing. Click all along
the line (you can see I'm trying to be thorough!)

!@#$%^* Oh my! Single click on the shortcut key character (in this case
the U) and the words New accelerator are shown. Hold down the ctrl and
alt and type u. The display changes to Ctrl+Alt+U - success!

Okay. The action required so that the bug can be marked 'fixed' is to
amend the documentation so that in Section 3.5, under Shortcut Keys,
there is an additional section called Changing Shortcut Keys which
contains the instruction left-click on the shortcut key value that you
want to change. Type the new key value to be used, including control,
alt and shift keys as required. The new key or key combination will
display. Click Close.

That, in my view, is the simplest, easiest, and most effective fix
required.

Thank you for your support. You forced me back to more thorough
investigation, which was indeed required, due to the shortfall in the
doco - which I sincerely hope will now be fixed!

Peter

[Bug 239231] Re: Cannot name workspaces

2010-01-21 Thread Peter Leon Collins
* I have two laptops with Ubuntu 9.10 on. 
* Acer: has been upgraded to 9.10 from older version Ubuntu and has workspace 
switcher (2.28.0) properties provide naming, names display on mouseover and 
under neat lateral list displayed when going ctrl+alt+left|right. Workspace 
change is instant. It's great. Long may it live.
* HP Mini: does it much worse. It has a new install of 9.10 replacing XP and it 
has the same workspace switcher (2.28.0 - yes, that's right) but with 
preferences only providing columns and rows. I have used gconf-editor to enable 
names and to set them, as on #95959 - but to no avail. Still show either Desk 
n or blank label or sometimes Desk 1 for ALL. Workplace change is by lateral 
sliding which is no great hassle. The lateral list when going 
ctrl+alt+left|right has HUGE icons and no labels at all. Click and drag to move 
applications between workspaces displays as a 'hint' on mouseover in the panel 
display, but does not work - apps stay where they are.
* I'm not pushing for a fix - it's merely a mystery and an aggravation, but it 
illustrates why I think Linux, for all its genuinely superior and ethical 
qualities, isn't yet ready to become a serious contender for the Mass 
Distribution Big Kahuna.

[Bug 327731] Re: COUNTIF fails in openoffice.org calc Err:508

2009-11-25 Thread Peter Leon Collins
Time's a-passing. And erroneous documentation is a serious BUG. Bug = fails 
to function correctly, where correctly = as documented. I really don't 
care whether it's the documentation or the code that has the fault. You could 
fix the problem by changing the code to ; or by changing the user guide to 
, - 'either' would do, but 'neither' leaves you with A BUG.
I have a concern about the quality of user guides. They do cause user problems. 
The documentation could perhaps be improved with better guidance for the 
authors and editors of the manuals. The standard for coding are great, but 
those for manuals are less so.
This BUG is a perfect example of the problems caused by poor testing of the 
manuals.

[Bug 269168] [NEW] System Monitor 2.22.3 described wrongly in help file V2.1

2008-09-11 Thread Peter Leon Collins
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

I want to change the background color of the resources graphs in Hardy
Ubuntu 8.04: gnome-system-monitor (2.22.3). I can find no way to do so.
Please fix this. The Help File ( -Help - Contents ) is System Monitor
Manual V2.1. In that manual I found instruction on how to change the
background color but the controls described there I cannot find in the
application. I refer to help section - Preferences - 4.2 Resources
which describes Background Color and Grid Color controls that are
missing from the application at - Edit - Preferences - Resources. As
a result, the following sections in the help file also describe actions
missing from the application: 3.13.1 (to change the background color of
graphs) and 3.13.2 (to change the grid color of graphs) as the controls
described in those sections are missing from the application.
