New additions in green.
Entries in RED have been fixed.
Entries in BLUE are not in the plan for 3.2
So far, I have received input from the Search, Platform/JDT Text, JDT
Core, JDT UI, and Debug teams. This document contains a summary of that feedback.
The items are listed by component, but are otherwise in no particular order.

Do we need a new splash screen? MVM asking designers to investigate in light of new welcome as well. | |
Update keywords for searching preference pages. I.e. verify that all the new preferences are covered. |

---|---|
78063 | Full Javadoc line selected even though only a character has been added to a word |
68758 | Structured Compare: selected added element not part of selection |
128362 | [Patch] Creating patch from compare in between versions/revisions |
118021 | Structured compare not available with additions or deletions |

Platform SWT
Bugzilla | Description |

95634 | [Tree] TreeColumn does not show "..." on cut-off Text and misses tooltips |
I know I'm dreaming, but: styled ranges inside a tree item (Font/colors etc for e.g. a word inside the full label) would be a boost | |
125702 | If you collapse a tree on a recent version of GTK+, a big block of whitespace appears at the bottom. It's very irritating. |
There's also the "festival of carets" bug. This is immediately noticeable to anyone using a recent GTK+, and it makes us look bad. Unfortunately, it appears to be a bug somewhere in the Cairo/Pango/glib/GTK+ stack specific to the FPU mode (which the Java VM modifies on start-up). This bug is bad and will be hard to track down. We need to do work if we want to see this fixed; we can't just say "It's their problem". | |
Platform Team
Bugzilla | Description |
---|---|
Need a general polish pass on new History view filtering and user interactions. The bugs below are examples... | |
125860 | New history view: filter is not persisted - no way to constantly ignore local history |
129916 | Per date sorting in History view forced on me upon ever input change |
MOVED FROM UI There are sometimes <a name="too_may_password">]too many password dialogs:

130408 | Should be able to export psfs to the workspace (2 votes) |
Platform Text
Bugzilla | Description |
---|---|
11624 | Text Drag and Drop (has many bug votes)
In order to resolve this we first need to put the grounds for drag and drop contributions to editors, otherwise clients contributing some sort of DnD will get broken. This is covered in bug 125957 and won't make it into 3.2. |
Platform UI

|
Finish the preferences clean up effort from 3.0:
|
|
Improve the look of the filter control (preferences, other dialogs):
|
|
The fast view icon looks like a bug, as the lower right corner is missing. For all the icons on the fast view bar, it isn't obvious what they do. They should be more "inviting" to click on. Maybe some extra adornment in the icon like an arrow that points in the direction they will open. The tooltip should also show the keyboard shortcut. New icon is being requests, no other work decided at this point UI - please provide a bug for this so we can track polish |
