Issues
Accomplishments
- Put the calendar files up on ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar for everyone
to try out.
- Posted a message in n.p.m.calendar and general, MozillaZine and the Open
Office mailing list.
- Fixed a bug in the day view that caused multiple events to appear as
though they were overlapping. This is not yet in the build available to
the public.
Next week
- Put the code into Mozilla.org's CVS.
- Ensure that calendar component and calendar keyword are added to bugzilla.
- Get the calendar to be part of the daily build process, when
MOZ_CALENDAR is turned on.
- Consolidate feedback to make up the initial requirements document for
Mozilla calendar.
Progress
- Akkana (Composer team)
- Checked in fix for 106111
, allow plaintext-only Linux build for embedding.
- Found a way to reproduce 104195
(rewrap destroys quotes) and wrote a fix.
- Discussions of plaintext editing, publishing UI, and saving APIs.
- Reviewed a few fixes.
- Sheriffed.
- Kathy (Composer team)
- revised and checked in fix for nsIDiskDocument move to nsIURI
- started moving nsEditorShell save methods out into JS
- some investigation into double-keyevents on Macs (only some OS?
slower Macs???)
- Charles (Composer team)
- 0.9.6 bugs fixed and checked in:
- 99306
Better errror message when Row, Col input field is empty in Table dialog
- 102046
Enable/disable 'Advanced Edit' button the same as 'Ok' button in dialogs
- 97826
Fixed '% of cell' label in menulist for table width when inserted
in an existing table.
- 97455
Fixed setting all attributes on an inserted link.
- Revised Publishing UI based on discussions from last week. We now
have two dialogs: One to use when publishing a page which still allows
changing the location and other settings; a second "pref-like" dialog to
edit settings on all sites. Rewrote all the publish prefs code using new
nsIPrefBranch interface. The plan is to check this in soon after 0.9.6 milestone
so we have UI to test publishing core work.
- Bug triage and load balancing for milestones through moz 1.0.
- Reviewed more big XUL/JS fixes by Blake Ross for XUL 1.0 compliance
. Other UI code reviews as well.
- Daniel (Layout team)
- CSS WG conf call
- fixed and checked in
- 107372 nsHTMLEditRules::GetAlignment() modifies the content tree!
- fix in hand
- 34849 dynamically added STYLE element doesn't alter style (side
effect of this fix : it is now possible to add/modify/remove style element
and CSS rules in Composer's source view and see the changes switching back
to other modes, bug 60841).
- Kin (Layout team)
- Code reviews/superreviews
- Checked in fixes for
- bug 99517 (Text migrates past H. Line, loses formatting when converted)
- bug 98730 (Find/Replace not finding a string with more than
one space)
- bug 103539 (Find does not always find strings containing spaces.)
- Created fix for bug 96455 (hr has duplicate lineboxes in frame tree
) which is one of two possible approaches. I'd like to get some one
more knowledgeable about block/inline reflow to look at it.
- Looked into bug 97207 (textarea pastes sometimes misplaced by failing
to reposition caret) and found some disturbing things, like the fact that
in some cases the point in the event structure passed to frames is not always
transfromed into the correct coordinate system.
- Looked into bug 96503 (Changing font size with Format Menu results
in an inconsistent font size).
- Triaged and did some preliminary debugging for various editor bugs.
- Joe (Layout team)
Plans
- Akkana
- Finish and check in the fix for
104195
.
- More work on save API related bugs.
- Try OS X build.
- Investigate 103808
(pasting primary rather than clipboard X selection on Unix) and perhaps
other selection-related bugs.
- See if I can help with bugs referenced in the plaintext editing tracking
bugs, 108120
and 108194.
- Kathy
- continue moving nsEditorShell save methods to JS
- investigate double-key events
- 0.9.6 bugs (fix or move off)
- Charles
- Continue on Publish UI and 0.9.6 bug fixing.
- Daniel
- will start looking at the merging conflicts Joe and Charley friendly
gave me for CSS in Composer ;-)
- Kin
- Triage Triage Triage
- Continue working on 0.9.6 bugs.
- Finish up glazman's CSS Composer code review.
Problems
- Strange problems with UI, especially toolbar buttons and color controls
not showing state. With the help of Joe, we think that Composer code is
working ok; can't figure out who to blame for these problems.
- Struggling with bug 106728
: "New" button doesn't work in Composer. It works in my tree and I can't
figure out why! I'll work on it more on the weekend.
- Still spending too much time monkeying around with builds and daily
breakage. The tree is the less stable than it's been in months.
