Hi! Related to this, I find very painful to write unit tests for gui. Generating event by hand is quite tedious. Someone has worked on that direction already? Cheers Alexandre

Nothing here is about things to fix, but rather about how impossible to debug event handling in system that runs and relies on very same events.. I had very annoying problem with mouse move handling and processing it correctly, and i finally solved the problem after number of attempts to track down where problem lies in..
So, here is small list of problems i faced:
- broken image (image won't start up) , because i send unimplemented message in critical place, thus image simply non-responsible/crashing immediately after startup. Easy to fix (sarcasm)
- debugger window spam on every event (because of DNU/other exception). A slightly friendlier problem than above :)
- and last one, if you break some event handling/delivery, even if image "behaves" you simply left without events doing what is needed, means you got another form of a broken image, which you cannot use anymore and need to start over and revert the changes you made.
- veeeerrrrryyy slow event handling, because of printing every event into transcript , trying to see where the shit lies.
- decrypting kilometers long event traces to see what goes where
But when things finally start work properly, you feel excited :)
