IDE

----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Find In Files always picks up word at cursor, even if option is deselected
- Fixed sometime

----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. In project manager, files are not sorted.
- Workaround, use SPT tool

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Debugger does not show PChar variables or large arrays 
  in any useful way (locks up). Have to use storage 
- Not fixed

----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Can't inspect (right mouse) local variables. Have to use Watch.
- Not fixed

----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Menu not keyboard accessible from control centre.
- Not fixed

----------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Debugger cannot run on OS/2 FP9 - 12 (?)
- Unimportant. Use < FP9 or > Fp12. Works with FP13 and on.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Inconsistent useage of directories between build/compile make
If you're building (-B) then the compiler does not find SPU units in
the output directory. The error message is, 'File not found: forms.pas'. 

But

If you're making (-M) then the compiler DOES find SPU units in the
output directory.

This is the same for command line and IDE.

In fact Project - Build is exactly the same as Make except that it excludes
the output directory from looking for units.
Hence - it does not work if the output directory is one of the unit directories.

This is perhaps really a compiler bug, that it does not have a proper
BUILD mode.

- Not fixed

----------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Relative output directories do not work
- Fixed in SP4

If you specify an output directory for your project, relative to the
project directory (e.g. '.\output', or just 'output'), then the
debugger will refuse to run, saying 'Could not find starting CS:EIP'.
To workaround: don't use relative directories. Use the current
directory (leave the output dir blank) or specify the full path...

FIX:
It is a very simple error, the debug function HandleThreadCreate in
dbghlp.pas is being passed the string
c:\blah\projectdir\\output\filename.exe
Note the two slashes between the project dir and the relative output
dir.

This is due to a bug (or omission) in the ExpandPath function, as
far as I can tell. It takes two parameters:
ExpandPath( Path, BaseDirectory)
If BaseDirectory ends with a \ then relative directories end up with
the two slashes.

I used the previously released source code for the IDE, which I was not
able to get functioning very well (won't load forms or compile :-) 
BUT I was able to make a Sibyl.exe that can debug when the exe is in a
relative directory, as proof of the fix. (I didn't fix ExpandPath, 
instead I fixed the following in projects.pas:

FUNCTION FExpandProject(Path:STRING):STRING;
var
   projDir :  string;
BEGIN
  Result := '';
  IF Path = '' THEN exit;
  Path := ReplaceEnvStrings(Path);
  IF Path = '' THEN exit;
  //relative Pfade sind relativ zum SPR File
  IF ProjectBaseDir <> '' THEN
// begin fix
  begin
     projdir:= ProjectBaseDir;
     if projdir[ length( projdir ) ] = '\' then
        delete( projdir, length( projdir ), 1 );

    Result := ExpandPath(Path, projdir)
  end
// end fix
  ELSE
    Result := DOS.FExpand(Path);
END;

-- END FIX ---

----------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Always reloads "last" project after compiling complib

After installing components, it should not reload the last
project if there wasn't one open before installing

- Not fixed.

(Similarly, if set to not open last project at startup, 
opens a blank one instead).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Multiple error messages for missing components when loading project

Say a single error message for all components that are not
installed, when loading a project, or at least one per class, not 
for every single component (very tedious)

- ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
11. "Illegal SCU" error message after installing components

Often after installing a component(s), it reloads the project but then
says "illegal SCU format". But shutting down Sibyl and restarting, it
can load the project OK. That one sounds hard to find...

- ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Asks if want to save unchanged project

If you start Sibyl with a new project (e.g. have deselected 'load last
project' then it asks you if you want to save the new project even if
you haven't made any changes. Would be better to start with no project
at all.

- Not fixed

----------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Copy and paste adds "1" to all components

When you copy and paste, all the controls are renamed to XXX1  even if
there isn't any existing XXX. This means cutting and pasting lots of
controls takes a lot of fiddling since you have to go and correct all
the names back to what they used to be. 

- Not fixed

----------------------------------------------------------------------
14. Non-visual components off form are unmoveable

If you accidentally move a non-visual control (e.g. a popup menu) out of
sight (e.g. past the edge of a panel) it's almost impossible to do
anything with it any more. There is no way to move it back again.

- Sort of fixed in FP4
 When selected from list in object inspector, they are moved onscreen

----------------------------------------------------------------------
15. Popup menu editor bugs

15a - when you click outside the menu it seems to dissappear, but doesn't
come up properly next time (doesn't fully draw itself). It only seems
to be properly closed if you hit escape with the menu open. 

15b - when you insert new items, then click on them, other menu items are
left as if they are still selected. 

15c - Double clicking a menu item does nothing, you have to go to the event
panel and select the onClick event there. 

15d - You can't move items up and down.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
16. The big error "removing this event requires the manual removal" or
whatever it is, when you blank out a event handler, is useless and annoying.

- Fixed in FP4?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
17. After menu from alt key, sometimes focus does not come back to edit
window

----------------------------------------------------------------------
18. After searching finishes without finding anything, next edit window is selected

----------------------------------------------------------------------
19. Debugger - Local variables do not always work (may be blank)
- Fixed in FP4
Workaround: make sure Local Variables pane is visible before first
break (?)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
27. Reinstalling component is not an error

A more useful message when reinstalling a component.

- ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
28. Application icon does not usually work
- Fixed in FP4?
Possibly because, the default Sibyl icon has various sizes, so that
OS/2 picks those rather than scaling your supplied icon?
Or, need to set form icon.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
21. Startup splash screen not on top

- Not fixed
- Not so bad

----------------------------------------------------------------------
22. Always recompiling main file (?)

- ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
23. Last 'edit' item in object inspector remains 
Sometimes when changing to another component, if there is an edit box
showing, it gets left behind.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
24. Sibyl debugger does not handle all opcodes

----------------------------------------------------------------------
25. Install component does not remember it's directory or start from current

----------------------------------------------------------------------
26. Title of editor window is often not refreshed when a file is loaded.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
27. Setting application font
Did not update all forms until FP4?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
28. Browser-information is partially not correct (FB)
Fixed in FP4

----------------------------------------------------------------------
29. Search function finds only the first matching string in large files (FB)
Fixed in FP4

----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Relative path names for compiler OUTPUT doesn't work in the IDE (FB)
Fixed in FP4

----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Source code generator has problems with forward class definitions (FB)
Fixed in FP4

----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Inspector combobox containts an item for pictures if you insert a TImage (FB)
Fixed in FP4

----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Alt+F3 hangs the IDE in Win32 (FB)
Fixed in FP4

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enhancements/Other issues
-------------------------

It would be nice to implement Delphi's behaviour of, if you have an
empty event handler, to delete it for you - this is especially good
for when you accidentally double click a control.

Keep same property selected when changing from one component to
another (object inspector) 

Improve incremental search 
- repeat
- backward

Customisable keys

Enhance the component install. Allow selecting multiple files.

Automatically delete empty event handlers 

Simpler keystroke to do debug - go

Split editor window

Put form data in separate files (safety)

Help always on top (option)
