- Note (reference) handling can get a little screwy when dealing with
- notes that span lines or have lots of strange punctuation in them.
- I still don't know whether "Note" is as valid as "note" so I accept
- either case at the moment. The only other info driver I have also
- breaks on these so it's hard to say what the correct thing to do is.
-
- Tags and indirect files are a crock. I hate them. They're a royal
- pain to deal with, and about 70% of the existing info files don't even
- have tags that point to the right places. There's got to be a better way.
- Whoever thought the current scheme up should take a long walk off a short pier.

- The R4 Athena List widget seems to do a better job of packing menu items
- in the space available, though it doesn't always seem inform to inform
- the Paned widget correctly when it needs more space. All in all, however,
- this works a good deal better than it used to in R3.
-
- The scrollbar often flickers on-and-off for no particularly good reason
- on the text widget, though this is only mildly annoying. It seems to
- think that it needs the scrollbar for a short time and then decides
- (correctly) that it really doesn't. This doesn't happen when the scrollbar
- is actually required.
-
- Double repaints sometime occur on the text widget. I'm not sure why this
- is.
-
- The text widget now uses a temporary disk file rather than using the
- string in-place. The main reason for this was that I couldn't get
- swapping the strings back-and-forth to work properly with the new
- text widget. Using the disk widget works better, though I still can't get
- it to update itself when changed unless I use XawtextEdit (and what
- I really want is XawtextRead). Any suggestions welcomed.
-
- I think it should be also possible to click on a note or menu reference
- directly in the text pane and have something happen, but I haven't figured
- out a reasonable way to detect when and where the mouse is clicked in
- a Text widget. I'm open to advice.
