Some ideas from Jan about QA

Hi Jan,
       Thanks very much. I need just this ort direction right now. I'm not
sure how much attention I'll focus on nested table bugs. No one
seems to use them anyway and they're dammedn hard owrk.

I'm interested in implementing "sum cols, rows" , text to tables and maybe
sort rows/cols. They're not that hard and (less than 3 days for the lot)
and I think they'll add significantly to AbiWord's usefulness.

I'm very interested in fixing various tables broken over pages bugs. I
often find repeated rows at the top of a page. Looks really bad.

Cheers

Martin

From Jan:

I have tried to make some kind of, "what is important" report - and I
would like to know, what you think - the concept probably needs some
finetuning. Should I continue, looking at other components - or is useless
and I should let it be. The purpose is to have a look at a given
component, extract the most important bugs and try to relate and comment
them. Minor bugs and requests are not listed. Please notice ">>>" marks.
Either the qa people need some idea of how to continue work, which is the
same as, please make a statement / comment ...we need input - or some bugs
should have a coders attention right away. - Jan

 ---------- Crash
When we paste large tables into smaller tables, we're not sure what to do
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5762
>>> your comment please: Should be do it your way or like Word does? They
look related.

When we have nested tables, some operations do crash

http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6920
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6960

- if we do some testing first, maybe we'll notice a pattern. I'll ask sum1
to have a look at it.

---------- 5 minute fix
Validation of fixed size value

http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6741
>>> you should just fix it, so we can resolve and forget it.
---------- Selection

Please note comment #11 in bug 5534.This is not a table only bug, but I
notice it very often, when reading bugreports.If we can fix this one,
we'll solve several other "non table" bugs at the same time.

>>> we need yours and the other coders attention. It requires insight
knowledge...

---------- Pixeldirt Border remains, when deleting table.

http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6963
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6808

>>> maybe one of these "1 pixel" bugs. You should have a look at it, to
locate if it's as simple as that. Something about coordinates. Strange
color leftovers.

http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6509- not a major problem,
but as it's pixeldirt, it disturbs the overall impression. That's why I
mentioned it.

---------- Environment Paragraph spacing (above & below) within tables
doesn't work
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5725

Some elements cannot be inserted directly above tables
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6777
>>> Your comment please: It looks like, that there are some weird things
going on, just outside tables. Do you need more details? ----------

Position and size Tables can be positioned or imported outside boudaries

http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6214
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5912

>>> your comment please: Should we follow Word or the more logical
approach to keep tables inside (we could reposition, when importing).
Column resizer causes weird table resizes or even make it dissappear

http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6215

When deleting last row (with merge cells) - we made a gap

http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6742
Deletion with nested tables causes rendering confusion

http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6961

Table incorrectly displayed when a merged cell spans two pages

http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6748

- These are major bugs, hence they need attention.
