[eclipse-dev] MacOS X: Interface bugs
|
Just noticed a couple of things about the interface in Eclipse for
MacOS X. I looked in bugzilla to see if the issues show up and they
don't seem to. I don't have the time to figure out how to add bug
reports (bugzilla may be powerful interface but the learning curve is
too severe.)
1) Right clicking on an item in the file list (say for selecting the
properties of a project) will not generate the context menu for the
item the mouse is hovering over. It creates the context menu for the
previously selected item. In other words, it doesn't select the new
item first and then generate the list. A little annoying when you have
to "left-click" on an item and then "right click" on it later.
2) Textboxes (or whatever the equivalent in the SWT) hide their
contents as if the content has been completely scrolled to the right.
(so the text is hidden under the left edge of the box). It's a little
annoying when you think that the build directory hasn't been added when
you look under the source properties and you end up with a weird build
path like:
myproject/build/myproject/build
because you'd incidentally added the path twice.
I would hazard to guess that the textbox is tempting to show you the
right most content but rather than aligning it with the right of the
textbox, it aligns it with the left of the text box. (aligning it with
the right of the textbox is something you might want to do when evoking
a edit mode for the textbox and you want to default to adding at the
end of the textbox contents).
Otherwise I'm exceptionally pleased by Eclipse. It's an excellent IDE
which looks great on the Mac.
