>Description:
Different problems with the new send-pr webinterface.
1. Input Boxes too tiny. This is 80 column text:
01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
Please make the input fields at least so big,
that you can easily copy paste console messages
or config files, that mostly need up to 80
colums space.
2. The input boxes center the text. This
is awefull after copy/pasting. Please make
them left formatted. For a technical error
report, which sometimes contains parts of
config files the "center text" formatting
in the boxes is painfull.
3. Make the boxes not even wider (80 columns)
but also bigger, so that one can better read
and trim/correct text you either pasted or
typed in. 6 lines is too few.
4. A real problem is, when you want to paste
text, like `uname -a` output from a shell
window.
The problem is, if you mark the text with
the mouse in shell window, then coming back
into the send-pr forms "Environment"
window for paste, somethings screws up the
copy buffers content. You see after clicking
into the send-pr window, that suddenly the
text field "Full Description" gets highlighted
and if you past something with middle mouse
button, then you don't get your "uname -a"
output from shell window, but the text "Full Description". This is with newest KDE
and using Konqueror.
5. Something bad seems to happen when
trying to copy/paste an URL from another
Konqueror's window "Location: field".
It makes the system go busy for a while.
I think this is related to the fact, that
not only the "Full Description" string is
in the X-Window paste buffer. But also
all what you typed in into the field, like
this text. It really sucks ;-)
>How-To-Repeat:
Open 2 Konqueror windows.
One URL is:
http://www.freebsd.org/docs/man.html
The other this send-pr form:
http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html
Go into Konquerors location field and
mark the URL "http://www.freebsd.org/docs/man.html"
so that its highlighted and in XWindows
paste buffer.
Then click into the send-pr form, where
you want to paste the text. This time
I see, "How to repeat the problem" is
highlighted.
If I paste now, then surprise surprise:
this is what I get:
%------------------------------------
How to repeat the problem:
%------------------------------------
Since this text automatically is highlighted
as soon as I click into this window.
How to repeat the problem:
Open 2 Konqueror windows.
One URL is:
http://www.freebsd.org/docs/man.html
The other this send-pr form:
http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html
Go into Konquerors location field and
mark the URL "http://www.freebsd.org/docs/man.html"
so that its highlighted and in XWindows
paste buffer.
Then click into the send-pr form, where
you want to paste the text. This time
I see, "How to repeat the problem" is
highlighted.
If I paste now, then surprise surprise:
this is what I get:
%------------------------------------
How to repeat the problem:
%------------------------------------
Since this text automatically is highlighted
as soon as I click into this window.
And now the really weired thing is:
This copy/paste bug behaves different.
A) When I paste something into the
"Full Description" field, then the
whole input gets pasted again instead
of what I intended to paste
b) in the "How to repeat the problem"
window its only the Box Title "How to repeat..."
that gets pasted.
Hope you get that one fixed ;-)
