ALL:

• vertical alignment of labels still has some flaws
  • gtk+: currently requires labels to be filling for this to work: grids don't do this by default, for instance
    • won't cause any issues, just an inconvenience that should be addressed
• make sure tab stop behavior for Areas makes sense, or provide a handler function
• the following seems weird and will not allow clean removal of the last window; think of something better?

	case ui.Closing:
		*(d.(*bool)) = true
		ui.Stop <- struct{}{}

• implement the concept of closing a window (which renders it unavilable for future use) and make it part of the Closing documentation
• make sure message boxes can be closed in arbitrary order meaningfully
  • windows: the first message box closing will destroy the window properly and reenable the parent, but the actual call to MessageBox() won't return until the second dialog does
    • docs don't say anything about threads but implies you can't call MessageBox() from a different thread
  • GTK+: ???
  • OS X: ???

MAC OS X:

• NSComboBox scans the entered text to see if it matches one of the items and returns the index of that item if it does; find out how to suppress this so that it returns -1 unless the item was chosen from the list (like the other platforms)
  • asked: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23046414/cocoa-how-do-i-get-nscombobox-indexofselecteditem-to-return-1-if-the-user-m
• make sure Areas get keyboard focus when clicking outside the actual Area space on Mac OS X
  • http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24102367/how-do-i-make-it-so-clicking-outside-the-actual-nsview-in-a-nsscrollview-but-wit
• on initially starting the Area test, layout is totally wrong
• probably use fittingSize instead of sizeToFit

WINDOWS:

• windows: windows key handling is just wrong; figure out how to avoid (especially since Windows intercepts that key by default)
• control sizing is a MAJOR pain
  • http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24130548/is-there-a-proper-way-to-get-the-preferred-size-of-windows-controls-there-are-s
• redrawing controls after a window resize on Windows does not work properly
• when adding IsDialogMessage() find out if that makes the area in the area bounds test automatically focused
• vertical alignment of labels can be wrong (I think; need to check again - TODO)

UNIX:

• figure out how to detect the alt key and mouse buttons above 5 properly for modifiers/Held[]
  • http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24053012/gdk-is-there-a-way-i-can-get-if-an-arbitrary-keyval-or-mouse-button-is-down-dur
• double-check to make sure MouseEvent.Held[] is sorted on Unix after we figure out how to detect buttons above button 5
• sizing with client-side decorations (Wayland) don't work
  • several people suggested connecting to size-allocate of the GtkLayout, but then I can wind up in a situation where there's extra padding or border space in the direction I resized
• [12:55] pietro10: I meant to mention: 1073): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:72:20: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'. twice.
• figure out why Page Up/Page Down does tab stops

ALL PLATFORMS:

• windows code presently wraps entire function bodies in uitask; make sure the other platforms do too
