I've started this new job, and I'm really liking it so far! 09:35 <popey> \o/ 09:35 <JMulholland> Congrats! 09:35 <swordfish> That's why I can't talk, but I can write :D ... 09:35 <popey> Secret irc chat :) 09:36 <swordfish> Thanks... Yeah, maybe next week I'll ask for some kind of permission, but I just realized today it was friday... 09:37 <swordfish> Anyway, back to business, yesterday I pushed a small patch to fix the orange button on the bottom bar, and this should hopefully unlock the branch. Let me know if there is something else not working. 09:37 <popey> What's that merge for? 09:37 <swordfish> I also disabled the button to avoid ugly popup ("Change keyboard").. 09:37 <popey> if there's no overlay enabled? 09:38 <popey> right. 09:38 <swordfish> https://code.launchpad.net/~flscogna/ubuntu-terminal-app/profile-selection/+merge/255077 09:38 <popey> ok, I'll test that today 09:38 <popey> While we're talking about merges. 09:39 <popey> https://code.launchpad.net/~developersw/ubuntu-terminal-app/CarloSpenguinFix/+merge/253864 09:39 <popey> is that still valid, still needed? 09:40 <swordfish> I think that merge will be replaced with a uri mechanism in the future, but for now I think it's still valid... 09:40 <swordfish> Theoretically it should merge without conflicts since it's quite small... 09:40 <popey> ok, can you merge it if needed 09:41 <popey> I'm trying to clear down the merges which have been hanging around 09:41 <swordfish> Yeah, that's a good policy. I actually thought that profile selections already landed a few weeks ago and I completely forgot about that. 09:41 <swordfish> Anyway this week a very nasty bug was also reported... 09:41 <popey> Yeah, I need to keep on top of them regularly or everyone forgets about them, not just you 09:42 <popey> oh? 09:42 <swordfish> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-terminal-app/+bug/1452918 09:43 <popey> that's normal behaviour surely? 09:43 <popey> certainly on my desktop if I press "a<tab>" it says Display all 108 possibilities? (y or n) 09:43 <popey> and it will only accept y or n 09:44 <popey> or CTRL+C 09:44 <popey> ah, but the text disappears? 09:44 <swordfish> The problem is that the last e ("Show all commands") is hidden so the user perceive it as a freeze in the input handling... 09:44 <swordfish> Yeah :D ... 09:44 <swordfish> This only happen on the phone, and I'm really not sure why... 09:45 <swordfish> Anyway I'll probably look into it in the next days. 09:45 <popey> at the point when you tap after "Display all 108 possibilities? (y or n)" appears, the prompt changes to phablet:ubuntu-phablet:~$ 09:45 <popey> overwriting the output of the previous command 09:46 <popey> do we try and re-draw the prompt or something strange? 09:47 <popey> But yes, that is an odd bug and needs some investigation 09:47 <swordfish> This should be done in the underlying widget, but if you simulate the same behaviour by resizing the windows on a desktop it will act normally (the last line won't be overwritten)...) 09:48 <popey> it looks related to scrolling 09:48 <popey> when you press in the window to move the text up/down 09:49 <popey> (which incidentally I still think is the wrong way round - two fingers should be for scrolling and one finger for history navigation) 09:49 <popey> But yes, it does need looking at. 09:50 <swordfish> So the text "Show all commands..." is still there? 09:50 <popey> no 09:50 <popey> as soon as you tap, it gets replaced / overwritten 09:51 <swordfish> Yeah, I just hoped it was just a scrolling issue.. :D 09:52 <popey> sadly not 09:52 <popey> whether you use one or two fingers it does the same 09:52 * popey sets medium priority on it 09:52 <popey> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-terminal-app/+bug/1452691 is somewhat amusing 09:53 <popey> in that the colours are wrong 09:54 <swordfish> mmh... That is also really nice! .. I missed the report, but it's definitely worth looking at... Is this happening also on desktops? 09:55 <popey> swordfish: will investigate more, it needs a better test as that requires other stuff installed 09:55 <popey> I'll take a look at them and confirm 09:56 <swordfish> Ok thank you. Anyway I think these fixes are the priority now. 09:56 <popey> ok. 09:57 <popey> How is your time looking now you've got a proper job? 09:57 <swordfish> Also it seems I'm the only supporter of the single finger to scroll, so it might be wise to swap the behaviours. 09:57 <popey> hah 09:57 <popey> I'll file a bug and we can have a think 09:58 <swordfish> As you can imagine the time has been reduced considerably. I'm still trying to find a good work/life balance, but I can certainly use a couple of evenings a week. 09:59 <popey> Ok, great. 09:59 <popey> There's not a huge amount of bugs coming in, the code is pretty stable now. 09:59 <popey> So it's really a few tweaks here and there. 09:59 <popey> (and the standalone terminal) :) 10:00 <swordfish> Yes. I think there are no worries for small fixes, the problem is working on big feature which need to be divided into short tasks. Anyway we'll see when that happens. :) 10:00 <swordfish> The standalone terminal is definitely the next item on the list (after the fixes).. 10:01 <popey> ok 10:02 <popey> Anything else to discuss? 10:05 <swordfish> I don't think so... Sorry I have to run to a meeting. I'll leave irc open so feel free to write if we missed soemthing. 10:05 <JMulholland> cool, congrats on the new job again swordfish! 10:09 <popey> swordfish: ok, thanks! 10:09 <popey> #endmeeting
