field is still highlighted in blue and underlined after grid of same name has been deleted

Submitted by jimspoon on 2016/10/30 03:44
I created a grid with the same name as a field.  Later I deleted that grid.  Afterwards, in the All Fields list in the Properties Pane, that field name was still highlighted in blue and underlined.  Refreshing the view did not remove the blue color and underline (to reflect that there was no longer any grid of the same name).  The blue color and underline was removed after a program restart.

Manage Forms dialog - better support for keyboard operations

Submitted by jimspoon on 2016/10/30 02:18
 i've been experimenting with the Manage Forms dialog.  It works fine if you use the mouse, but I think it needs better support for keyboard operations, as follows:
 
no support for navigating forms/fields with keyboard, except for up/down
no way to deactivate "auto-edit" mode
ctrl+right does not expand a form to show its fields
ctrl+left does not move highlight to form name and collapse the form
Esc key does not undo changes to form name or field name - the only way to restore the previous form name or field name is to use cancel button to exit Manage Forms dialog
alt+down does not expand field name dropdown box
field name dropdown box should "filter as you type"
 

Search grid to display always immediately to the right of the Live-Search in its respective tab

Submitted by ethanrox on 2016/10/29 13:14
Sometimes when I want to display the results of a search from the Live-Search  "grid" into a Search Grid, I get the new Search Grid opened and positioned immediately after the grid from where I have invoked the Omnibox.
 
I often have the Live-Search in its own vertical tab, so when this happens the new Search Resutls grid steals the focus of the main grid I am working on because it gets positioned to its right in its tab group.
 
Hope it is clear. Wanted to make a screen-cast, but could not reproduce the issue as easily.

field properties dialog - open scratch grid when field name is double-clicked

Submitted by jimspoon on 2016/10/28 07:37
If I double-click a field name in the properties pane, a scratch grid is opened, showing the items with values for that field.
 
Shouldn't the same happen when I double-click the field name in the field properties dialog?
 
In this way the Feld Properties dialog would work like the Manage Grids dialog, where double-clicking a grid name opens that grid.

Parents & Lineage

Submitted by viking on 2016/10/27 17:18
I have an item "current" in Grid 1. It has the following Lineage:
Item 1
...Item 1.1
....Current
 
I drag-drop the item (holding ctrl key to create a link) to an item in Grid 2:
Item 2
..Item 2.1
....Current
 
I now look at the Properties Pane and Parents (2) for "Current".
 
It shows:
Item 1.1
... Item 1
 
Item 2.1
..Item 2
 
1. It is a little confusing that the Items (Lineage) are shown in reverse order!?
 
If I select "Current" in Grid 2, it shows the correct Lineage (in status bar bottom left):
Rev. Lineage: Item 2 >> Item 2.1 >> Current
 
However, if I select "Current" in Grid 1, it doesn't show the Lineage:
Rev.

Two Mini Calendar Questions

Submitted by viking on 2016/10/27 16:29
1. I have set the min-Calendar to Auto-Hide. However, it is difficult to hit it just right with the mouse to open it. Is there a keyboard shortcut to open it? (A button would otherwise be great)
 
2. I have set the Calendar to show 3 days. However, they may not include Today's date. If I click on Today, it brings me to Today but it now only shows 1 day. Is there some way to get it to go to Today but still show 3 days?
