Pre-resolved issues lacking information in tracker
by Ben Coman March 23, 2014

March 23, 2014

I have a minor gripe about placeholder issues logged when a developer already has a fix ready - which lack any useful information regarding the problem that was solved. As an example, for Case 13112 [1] I found the problem was introduced in build 30205 by Case 10961, which is shown in the attached snapshot. First I'll say there was value that the issue was logged even as bare as that. I did manage to isolate a problem introduced by that slice, which was only observed 500 builds later. However providing limited information creates costs later on. The consequence in this case is relatively minor - the work-around is easy and probably all that is wanted during Pharo 3 beta anyhow. The background information will probably turn up. However having to stop and ask slows down the investigation. If I knew more upfront about the original problem of Case 10961, I could consider alternative solutions for that rather than just work-around the current issue. As I said, its only a minor thing, and hopefully this is useful feedback. Keep up the good work. cheers -ben [1] https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/13112/Broken-Vistary-theme

Nautilus keyboard behavior
by Stephan Eggermont March 22, 2014

March 22, 2014

13100 triggered me to take a look at keyboard based navigation in Nautilus. These should probably be a number of different issues. There seems to be no way to get from the text pane back to methods-categories-classes-packages , both tab and right-arrow are captured. How do I open the menu on one of the top panes in Nautilus? How do I open the History navigator? Iâd expect groups and hierarchy to be selectable with a key combination when the packages pane is selected. Menu behaves interesting when use with tab key - if you are in a submenu you can tab back to the higher level menu and back down with shift-tab - if you go too far up it only reacts to shift-tab - if there is no submenu, the menu is deselected and it only reacts to shift-tab If I select a class, open the menu, select with keyboard Refactoring, right arrow to select Code rewriting, left arrow to go back and again right arrow, I get a MNU receiver of âboundsâ is nil The world menu behaves slightly different, it has no MNU but just doesnât open the submenu a second time. Moving down and up again restores the submenu. The removeEmtyCategoriesFrom menu item can be selected when there is no class selected. This gives a MNU Stephan

Bug in Rectangle?
by Noury Bouraqadi March 22, 2014

March 22, 2014

Inverting the origin and the corner of a rectangle changes the result of intersection. I guess it's a bug, though I imagine that changing the code of Rectangle is likely to have deep/undesired consequences.. (0@0 corner: 100@100) intersects: (-50@ -50 corner: 80@80) ==> true (100@100 corner: 0@0) intersects: (-50@ -50 corner: 80@80) ==> false !!!! Noury

Windows FileSystem '\test\bar' not an absolute path
by Ben Coman March 22, 2014

March 22, 2014

I have some strong concerns about the semantics of FileSystem on MS Windows treating '\directory' as a relative path rather than an absolute path. For example currently... '/tmp/test.txt' asFileReference fullName --> 'C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Roaming\Pharo\images\30790\tmp\test.txt' when it _should_ go... '/tmp/test.txt' asFileReference fullName --> 'C:\tmp\x.txt' This seems to be by design per '\test\bar' below... WindowsStoreTest>>testAbsolutePath #('c:\' 'C:\temp' 'A:\temp\test') do: [:each | self assert: (WindowsStore current pathFromString: each) isAbsolute ] WindowsStoreTest>>testRelativePath #('a' 'bin\foo' 'temp\test' '\test\bar') do: [:each | self assert: (WindowsStore current pathFromString: each) isRelative ] However taking as reference the Windows Command Shell (cmd.exe)... (1) C:\> mkdir \a\b\a\c (2) C:\> cd a (3) C:\a> cd b (4) C:\a\b> cd \a (5) C:\a> observe that after 'cd \a' (4) the working directory becomes absolute 'C:\a' rather than relative 'C:\a\b\a' . Microsoft defines [1] a file name is RELATIVE to the current directory if it DOES NOT begin with: * A single backslash, for example, "\directory" or "\file.txt". This is also referred to as an ABSOLUTE path. Indeed all Windows applications I know operate this way. Using different semantics is a bug.
