Bug Report Text:

For example:
 * TAB doesn't work to switch between text fields
 * control+a doesn't select all text
 * control+z doesn't undo

Also, on entering the summary and the full description text boxes, the current text ( a default meta explanation) should be selected, so that on starting to type it disappears.
This could be done by adding a focus listener, and inspecting if the text starts and ends with square brackets.

Thanks for reporting this.  The Tab and highlighting points are easy to fix, and I'll get to those as soon as possible.  The others are probably best deal with by switching to use a JTextArea, which gives you Ctrl-A by default and makes it easier to implement Undo / Redo, if I recall correctly.  I assume there's no particular reason not to use Swing components for this plugin?
Comment 2 Johannes Schindelin 2009-04-19 19:51:24 CDT 
Swing is fine.
Comment 3 Mark Longair 2009-09-28 14:12:22 CDT 
Could you try out the branch bug-submitter-fixes?

  http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=fiji.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/bug-submitter-fixes

I think this should fix all the problems in this report, namely:

* Tab and Shift-Tab work as expected.
* Control-Z / Control-Y now do Undo / Redo in the description box
* Control-A selects all
* When focus first goes to the summary and description fields, the default text to replace is highlighted

If that's OK, please let me know and I'll close the bug.

many thanks,
mark

I haven't heard back, but I think these things are all fixed.  Please open a new bug if there are still problems.

many thanks,
