 Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2005 12:30 am Post subject: 1.5.0 on a Mac Bugs |
 |
|
I'm using Safari on Mac OS X, and I must say that a lot of things regarding SpellingCow have been fixed well. Only 2 bugs that I thought I might report on to help with 1.6.0:
--In the spell check window, when a word is highlighted that is not in the viewable part of the text (i.e., the text scrolls), SpellingCow should jump to that word instead of requiring the user to scroll down to it.
--The Spell Check window does not automatically close, one has to click on Close NOW.
Thanks for the great work you do on SpellingCow, Nuttzy!

This one I will have to track down some day when I have access to a Mac again.

This actually is a big deal as I'm sure it would be quite annoying to have to press close each time. I'll add you to my AIM buddy list and if you don't mind working with me, I'll give you a shout when I have some things to try 
Thanks!!!!

Actually, SpellingCow doesn't always display the Close NOW window. When it does, it doesn't automatically close, though it should.

Most likely it depends on the message you are spell checking. It may depend on the length. Most probably though, I bet it depends on whether there is a carriage return or not. So what you can do now is try and nail down for me the situations when it does fail. That would be awesome!!!
Keep me informed!

Sent you a PM.
As for what will/won't work, I think this will close (all on one line)...
...but this might not... ...notice the carriage return so it's 2 lines.
Give these basic examples a shot and let me know how it goes!!!
Thanks!

Another question, when the window fails to close, does it correctly make any changes you've made? That would be interesting to know.
Thanks!

Yeah it works okay in the main window, it's just the "This window will automatically close in 5 seconds." part that didn't close.
