Recent changes to bugs

preferences changes not saved

I can't tell if this is a bug or a feature request, but changes to the default settings in the Properties window don't seem to be saved. Very useful program, but it is wearying to have to reset everything each time the program starts up. Especially wearying (and not included in the Properties window) is the need to keep re-choosing the default font, which resets itself to the alphabetically first font on my computer with every startup. I am using the program on a Mac (OS X 10.8.2).

text not legible after applying superscript

2007-11-25T15:05:16Z

The text does not appear clearly after applying superscript.
(Fedora Core6)

See attached image; after applying superscript to some piece of text, it is not always legible. In some cases it is easy to read the text while in most cases it is not.

The problem occurs irrespective of the size of the tree.

Persistent placement selector

2007-04-18T09:24:03Z

(64-bit Ubuntu 7.04, Sun Java 6)

If an action that causes the placement selector to appear (insertion at, or movement to, a node that already has at least one child) and Ctrl-Z is pressed to cancel the action, the action is canceled but the selector doesn't go away until it registers a mouseclick.

Lines don\'t display after restoring a minimized window

2007-04-18T09:16:12Z

(64-bit Ubuntu 7.04, Sun Java 6)

See attached image; this happens occasionally after a document window within TreeForm that has been minimized is restored or maximized. I haven't been able to establish a specific sequence of actions that causes this, but it seems to happen primarily when more than one document is open. Adding or removing nodes from the tree fixes this.

Alt-drag drags the whole window

2007-04-18T09:06:36Z

(64-bit Ubuntu 7.04, Sun Java 6)

Instead of creating a movement arrow, the Alt-click and drag method moves the entire TreeForm window.

A noteworthy behavior possibly related to the movement arrows - clicking before holding down Alt allows to freely move individual nodes out of the structure, as shown in the attachment. Any changes to the tree's structure return them back to their positions.

Dead end at the bottom of the window

2007-04-18T08:56:44Z

When a tree is tall enough to reach the bottom of the window, dragging a structure to the bottom node(s) does nothing. At this point, the tree can only be extended by keyboard shortcuts; if the bottom node is null, another branch has to be built up to the point where the null node is no longer at the bottom of the window.

The attached image shows one such dead end.

Failure to launch with Blackdown Java

2007-04-18T08:46:11Z

Using the Java package from version 9.8, under 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 7.04, with Blackdown-1.4.2-02:

Apr 17, 2007 11:37:16 PM userInterface.Start main
INFO: Launching the application...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: userInterface.UserFrame.setPreferredSize(Ljava/awt/Dimension;)V
at userInterface.UserBrowserButton.setLabel(UserBrowserButton.java:156)
at userInterface.UserObjectBrowser.addObjects(UserObjectBrowser.java:168)
at userInterface.UserObjectBrowser.<init>(UserObjectBrowser.java:158)
at userInterface.UserFrame.<init>(UserFrame.java:274)
at userInterface.Start.main(Start.java:84)

(At this point, it hangs with the splashscreen displayed. I gather that the Java version is written with Sun Java in mind, but I thought this worth mentioning since Blackdown is the default JRE distributed with Ubuntu and some other Linux flavors. In case this becomes an issue for anyone else, the command to change the default Java used in Ubuntu is "sudo update-alternatives --config java".)

Vertical scroll stops before bottom of diagram

2007-01-21T20:24:14Z

Can't scroll down to see parts of a tree that are below the bottom of the screen - the vertical scrollbar doesn't have enough "travel" to scroll all the way down.

Remove unnecessary files from jar

2006-09-15T15:43:24Z

Hi,

I have some comments on how you package TreeForm. The
.jar contains a lot of unnecessary classes: the Eclipse
.project, .classpath, a whole bunch of .ucd and .uud
files created by Omondo’s UML Plugin, another jar (error?).

Furthermore, it would be nice to include the source
code too, I mean, it is available via Sourceforge CVS
anyway.

As a sidenote: it is noble to include a .bat file, but
I do not think this is worth it to make a separate
package for Windows. How about simply explaining in
the documentation that the jar should be run with
enough memory, and how this can be done?

Cheers, H.
