While I figure out where (and if) to post feedback on Eclipse's latest build for Windows Presentation Framework, I'm making a note of them here, so I can remember and then forget and later look at it winsomely years later trolling through my own blog and being embarassed.
- 3.3M6 WPF leaves up an communication error dialog box artifact when the Update Manager fails to connect to a server. It remains in the way of using the app's editor window. (Indiana University was chosen as the mirror site automatically, then failed/timed out. To get it to update, I had to manually chose OSU or something else.)
- It also attempts to check all subupdate sites of an update site - eg, when I go to the Europa Discovery Site, it tries to download everything as the default option instead of letting me check the checkboxes near the entries I want. This has the consequence of stopping me from using Eclipse while it downloads, well, everything.
- The Update Manager, when it does get everything finally loaded, flickers on expanding the list as it checks plug-in/feature dependencies.
- Clicking "Filter other Features on the list" causes the UM to cycle through and enable check marks on all lists of updates. Sigh.
- "Run in Background" for the update presents the same artifact (a dialog that won't go away and isn't updated) as per the first comment.
- Spacing of text between lines on menus and trees seems a little larger than necessary
Can you tell I haven't even gotten updated yet?
