           Summary: 18 Bugs in Alpha3
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: gideon
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: amantia at freemail.hu


Version:           cvs (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          g++ 2.95.3 
OS:          Linux

Some annoying bugs still or newly present in Alpha3 (actually CVS from 01/08/2003), 
developng C++ and using ideal and katepart:

1. Toolbars are still messed up (but you know this).

2. After I reopen a project and I get 5 opened source files, and I select the

3rd, the back button will bring me to the following files:
 4th, 5th, 4th, 3th, 2nd, 1st (and now it gets disabled)
 As I figured out it brings back to the last selected file(s) first and if there
 is no "last" selected file, switches to the last one and goes back in the
 opened file list. This is really confusing...
 And even now, after I've switched (randomly) between the open files, pressing
 back a lot of time crashed Gideon, altough I couldn't reproduce now, so I will 
 sent the backtrace next time when it crashes.
 
 
4. The autocompletion is very annoying now. It's nice that it remembers the typed
strings, but:
   a. ctrl-space does not give me the autocompletion list in some cases (eg. 
   I have a class Foo with static method foo_method), after I type Foo::f and 
   ctrl-space, it will not give me a list with foo_method inside
   
   b. pops up automatically after the 3rd entered char, which is nice sometimes,
   but why cannot I get the same after the first letter with ctrl-space?
   
   c. the automatic popup if more than 3 chars are entered is annoyin when you
   try to undo what you have typed (with Ctrl-Z). It pops up after every Ctrl-Z
   step and you must press ESC to disappears, otherwise CTRL-Z will not work
   again. :-( 
   
5. In the files groups view, if a group contains explicit list of files 
(like GNU: AUTHORS;ChangeLog;COPYRIGHT), they do not appear under this group.
It's an older bug.

6. Removing breakpoints during a debug process does not always really remove them,
and sometimes the running will break in the line where there was a breakpoint,
but I removed it. The only solution in this case is to restart the debugging.
(older bug)

7. In the Breakpoints windows, selecting Clear All Breakpoints does not remove
all of them... (older bug)

8. If you set a breakpoint eg. at line 100 and later enter some new lines
around this line, the breakpoint itself will remain on line 100, but the breakpoint 
mark is moving down, which becomes confusing during debugging. (and old bug,
from KDevelop 2 days)

9. "Toggle Breakpoint" from the RMB menu sets the breakpoint to the current cursor
position, not to the line where you clicked with the mouse. Altough this is understandable,
it is confusing, eg. if you scroll down with the mouse and try to set a breakpoint,
and you realize that it was set some pages before/after...

10. The watch window does not show the current function/method's symbols when
a breakpoint is reaches until you select the function from the Frame Stack.
Once you've done it, during the following debugging processes it will came up
automatically (even if you don't use the Frame Stack), 
just as in KDevelop 2, until you restart Gideon... I think it
should show the current function's symbols right from the start. (older Gideon
bug)

11. Watched variables are not remembered between debugging sessions. This is really
bad and slows down the debugging. (and old bug from KDevelop 2 days).

12. When using builddir!=srcdir in developing, you must still make a symling from
srcdir to the executable in builddir, otherwise you cannot debug. Why not just use
the setting from Project Options also when debugging? (old bug, already reported)

13. Running an app from Gideon still does not enable the stop button/menu. Debugging does.

14. Running/debugging the app if the sources were modified does not rebuild the
executable. You must explicitely rebuild it. I got used to it by now, but it should
be taken as a bug....

15. Bookmarks and Build accelerators are clashing (&B). + some important actions
does not have keyboard shortcuts (run, debug, step, trace, etc.)

16. In File Tree the directories are not shown first, but mixed between files. 
Hard to find them...

17. In Classes View, clicking onto a class method opens both the header and the
implementation file. I'm not sure it is ok, as you can open the header by
clicking onto the class name, or RMB->Go To Declaration. 

18. If you browse the documentation from the search results, the links are opened 
in a new window. If you do it from the Doc. Browser, they aren't. This is inconsistent.
The back button in the latter case does not bring me back to the previous browsed
doc. page. Annoying. (old bugs, I think already reported)


Ok, this is for now, tell me if you need some more help. Sorry again for sending
lot of bugs in one report. You know, dial-up connection...
