Known Major Bugs in Chandler Release 0.2

Application

The first time you start Chandler, the list of parcels appears all squished together vertically, then immediately redraws. (Bug:923)

You cannot set the locale properly on the Mac or Linux (Bug:251). (A warning error appears on startup on the Mac; Linux fails silently.) This means, for example, that you can't localize how dates appear in the Calendar e.g. under Table View. In Linux, Calendar's Table View shows DD/MM/YY; on the Mac, the Table View shows dates as MM/DD/YY.

The first time a Repository commit() is done, it takes several seconds to initialize everything.

Cut/Copy/Paste don't work. (Bug:920)

Chandler is slow to launch.

Sharing does not work at all. (Bug:918)

Documentation

We don't have good built-in help. See the up-to-date end-user help documentation.

Calendar

The Del key doesn't work when editing a Calendar Event description (Bug:928).

Month and Table/List views are read-only. (No bug yet, just not implemented).

Moving events in the Calendar is different across Windows, Mac OS, and Linux (Bug:409). (We inherited behavior from wxWindows and have not yet decided if or how we will change that behavior.)

• Under Windows, drag-and-drop to move calendar events and Control-drag to copy events.
• Under Linux, drag-and-drop to copy calendar events and Shift-drag to move events.
• Under MacOS, drag-and-drop to copy events; there is no way (yet) to move events.

Under Linux, if the active locale is UTF-8 (the default on RedHat 8.0 or 9), the month panel may display Korean characters in place of Roman letters and Arabic numerals. The work-around is to set the LANG environment variable to a non-Unicode value (i.e. "export LANG=en_US") before starting Chandler.

Event text does not always display correctly in Month View. (If it is long, it can spill over into the next day's box instead of wrapping into the next line of that day.)

You cannot (yet) create events in Month View.

Contacts

There are several bugs in Contacts related to creating or editing new Views (Bug:824, Bug:829, Bug:914, Bug:889)

Text editing doesn't look right in Contacts edit boxes. (Bug:927)

There are several bugs related to Company Contacts (Bug:933, Bug:935)

If you add an Interests attribute to a Contact on Linux, you will get error messages on standard out. (Bug:275)

Jabber

Adding a well-formed but incorrect Jabber ID throws an exception (Bug:883)

Sharing

Sharing does not work at all. (Bug:918)
