• Made a pass on my Mac and updated the entire world, including the new widgets.
• Fixed Bug #1898
• Looked into why delete doesn't work in a table. It turns out that wxWidgets always reports the selection as empty. After spending way too much time in the wxGrid source code I think I discovered why the selection is always empty -- probably a bug or at best a conseqence of their design choice
• This lead to a rewrite of the selection code of Table. It now includes discontiguous selections, and stores the selection run coded which is more efficient for large tables. There is also a new table attribute, the item in the selection to view. The cursorColumn attribute was removed.
• Several simplifications fell out of the refactoring: Sidebar specific events were either eliminated or generalized to be Table specific.
• Donn and I came up with a proposal to introduce a view delegate to a table, which is responsible for caching and finding a view (tree of blocks) for an item in a table. This design eliminates awkward Sidebar specific code to get the name of the item in a table and simplifies the refactoring of the new detail view code.
