Subject: fields -- known bugs in the existing implementation

In general, the existing preliminary implementation didn't thoroughly
address a number of subtle UI issues, such as:
- interaction with inherited formatting
- field-specific context menus
- update frequency
- cursor size and motion
- click semantics
- etc.
I doubt that there's been an exhaustive enumeration of all the related
defects, but several have been explicitly mentioned on the list:
Bob: Field-related bugs
-------------------------
http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/00/February/0240.html
Sam: 2 field bugs (cursor and update)
--------------------------------------
http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/00/May/0019.html
Rather than trying to fix any of these now, I just intend to use them to
help specify the intended behavior for the new implementation.
Ditto for any new fields-related bug reports which may crop up in the mean
time (hint, hint).
