important things:

• 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

super ultra important things:

• 10.6 also spits a bunch of NSNoAutoreleasePool() debug log messages even though I thoguht I had everything in an NSAutoreleasePool...
• windows: windows key handling is just wrong; figure out how to avoid (especially since Windows intercepts that key by default)
• OS X: key up with a modifier held and our new modifiers code doesn't seem to happen?
• OS X: handle Insert/Help key change in a sane and deterministic way
  • will need old and new Mac keyboards...
• make sure MouseEvent's documentation has dragging described correctly (both Windows and GTK+ do)
• pin down whether or not a click event gets sent if this click changes from a different window to the one with the Area
• double-check to make sure MouseEvent.Held[] is sorted on Unix after we figure out how to detect buttons above button 5
• the windows build appears to be unstable:
  • 64-bit crashes in malloc in wine with heap corruption warnings aplenty during DLL loading; in windows 7 it works fine
  • 32-bit: it works, but if I save the class name converted to UTF-16 beforehand, wine indicates that the class name is replaced with the window title, so something there is wrong...
• david wendt is telling me he's getting frequent crashes on his end with the GTK+ amd64 build... TODO re-evaluate; I think I fixed them all ages ago now
• GTK+: stderr is flooded with

(test:17575): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_device_ungrab: assertion 'GDK_IS_DEVICE (device)' failed

(test:17575): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_device_grab_remove: assertion 'GDK_IS_DEVICE (device)' failed

figure out why

• make sure the preferred size of a Listbox is the minimum size needed to display everything on all platforms (capped at the screen height, of course?)
  • same for Area, using the Area's size (this will be easier)
• make sure the image drawn on an Area looks correct on all platforms (is not cropped incorrectly or blurred)
• when resizing a GTK+ window smaller than a certain size, the controls inside will start clipping in bizarre ways (comboboxes will just cut off; the horizontal scrollbar in Area will disappear smoothly; etc.)
  • check my logs; someone in irc.gimp.net/#gtk+ answered this (or provided an answer)
• see update 18 March 2014 in README
• resizing seems to be completely and totally broken in the Wayland backend
  • TODO find out if this is a problem on the GTK+/Wayland side (no initial window-configure event?)
• redrawing controls after a window resize on Windows does not work properly
• point out that Areas get keyboard focus automatically on click on Mac OS X
• make sure Areas get keyboard focus when clicking outside the actual Area space on all platforms
• make sure keyboard events on numpad off on all platforms don't switch between controls
• on Windows, Shift+(num pad key) triggers the shifted key code when num lock is off; will need to reorder key code tests on all platforms to fix this

  • related: make sure all keyboard checks are in the same order on all platforms
• pressing global keycodes (including kwin's zoom in/out) when running the keyboard test in wine causes the Area to lose keyboard focus; this doesn't happen on the GTK+ version (fix the Windows version to behave like the GTK+ version)
  • this also happens in real windows (press the windows key to open the start menu); there's something I'm not handling and I'm not sure what it is
  • oh hey would you look at that http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2014/05/21/10527168.aspx how timely
    • part 2 http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2014/05/22/10527522.aspx
• GTK+ indefinite progress bar animation is choppy: make sure the speed we have now is the conventional speed for GTK+ programs (HIG doesn't list any) and that the choppiness is correct
• Message boxes are not application-modal on some platforms

• [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.

other things:

• on windows 7, progress bars seem to animate from 0 -> pos when you turn off marquee mode and set pos; see if that's documented or if I'm doing something wrong
  • intentional: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/61350dc7-6584-4c4e-91b0-69d642c03dae/progressbar-disable-smooth-animation http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2217688/windows-7-aero-theme-progress-bar-bug http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/default.asp?dotnet.12.600456.2 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22469876/progressbar-lag-when-setting-position-with-pbm-setpos http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6128287/tprogressbar-never-fills-up-all-the-way-seems-to-be-updating-too-fast - these links have workarounds but blah; more proof that progressbars were programmatically intended to be incremented in steps
• check all uses of RECT.right/.bottom in Windows that don't have an accompanying -RECT.left/.top to make sure they're correct
• make all widths and heights parameters in constructors in the same place (or drop the ones in Window entirely?)
