Use this document for UI items that are very minor or require discussion before being resolved via bug reports.

Colors

• Change task editor incoming/conflict highlight color to be more pronounced.

Task List

• Add Alt+Click tip to Focus on Active Task button tooltip
• Consider adding Navigate actions (e.g. Open Repository Task) to Task List view menu
• Due dates not currently not settable from context menu in task list
• Tooltip: Synched vs. completed is confusing

Notifications

• Don't show notification for new bug reports submitted by user

Task Editor

• Assign to needws content assist in New Task Editor
• Update Attributes option (button) should be available in Task Editor header
• Render context attachments 'comments' in Bugzilla as links to activate context or thumbnails, not comments.
• If the Description of a repository task is editable, no border is drawn to indicate this in the editor
• The Summary text field of a repository task editor is always editable even if the repository task attribute is read only.
• "Add To Task List" only appears in the context menu on the editor of an opened repository task if you have a category in your tasklist (can't add to root)

Planning Editor

• Category selection should be available within Task Planning editor

Bugzilla Connector

• Search page too small with clean workspace settings?
• Proxy settings section expanded when shouldn't be for new Task Repository?

Hyperlinking

146964: editor hyperlink parsing problems and suggestions

• Depending on connector hyperlink detection is slightly different. Should unify so that same patters work among all connectors: bug#123, task#123, task 123, #123
• Hyperlinks opening synchronously
• Additional patterns:
  • #XXXX
• Comment linking bug#164221
• bla blah JiraWebIssueService$2.execute(JiraWebIssueService.java:105): still linking preceeding text where only class:line in brackets should be linked
• Hyperlinks should have the task's summary as the tooltip (Eclipse hyperlink limitation here?)
• Premature hyperlink termination: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/FAQ_How_do_I_hook_my_editor_to_the_Back_and_Forward_buttons%3F
• Avoid spell checking hyperlinks

Recommended Preferences

• Automatically disable Platform URL hyperlink detector.
• Remove default linking from prefs?

Synchronization

There should be no synchronous repository communication. Cases that could still be left:

• Contact attach/retrieve.
• Download of repository configuration after new bug created with no previous query.
