Hi,<br>

The reason for<br>
this is that they all open context menus (which are typically associated<br>
with a right-click). The page label, OTOH, initiates an action (namely<br>
opening the "Goto page" dialog), which would seem rather weird (to me,<br>
anyway) to be initiated by a right-click. Besides, </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I seem to remember<br>
that several applications have a double-click activation on that<br>
(granted, most applications have an edit box there, but AFAIK this<br>
produces significant problems on the Mac due to its size).<br>

Regarding the editor, I missed the line label. I'll try to remember it<br>

</div>Yeah, it was just a first attempt, I didn't have time to look into this<br>
issue in detail yet. As far as (stable) releases are concerned, I'd<br>
prefer to go with uncompressed files, as they don't change that often<br>
(people don't have to download too much), hard disk space is not that<br>
limitted anymore these days (we're talking about 21MB) and speed is nice<br>
to have.</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">For "daily" testing builds, OTOH, I agree that size matters,<br>
and speed does not so much. Still, I'd like to investigate this first.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Its worth it, there are still considerable numbers of people in developing countries who rely on speeds little better, or the same as dial up modems. I know one man in the Philipines who has been unable to guarantee a connection for ten minutes without it going down and requires reconnection, and have seen people in Fiji even near main nodes, have to wait over an hour to process a small raft of plain text emails.</div>
