Description

Quite a few of the dialog boxes in qgis don't remember their location and size - I think that they should. Culprits include:

  • line and area measure
  • help viewer
  • all of the plugin dialogs
  • attribute table
  • bookmarks

The identify results, the qgis window, the printer composer do remember their size and position.

History

#1 Updated by Tom Elwertowski about 18 years ago

The fix for #440 can be added to these too.

#2 Updated by Tim Sutton over 17 years ago

Changed to minor under the following scheme:
  • blocker - bugs that should block the release. Since we are going to release pretty much 'come what may' I would like no bugs
  • allocated to this category without consultation with me and / or PSC
  • critical - bugs that cause the application to crash or corrupt data
  • major - application features that do not function at all
  • minor - features that function but imerfectly e.g. labels placing incorrectly
  • trivial - gui useability issues or small issues with the documentation, install notes etc.

================================
Checked this on QGIS 1.0.0 Preview II. Confirmed behaviour fixed for:
1. Line and Area Measure
2. Attribute Table
3. Help Contents

Dialogs that still had this problem:
1. New Bookmark
2. Show Bookmarks
3. Plug-ins:
All Tested - from "Add WFS" to "Georeferencer"
