Settings dialogs major issues and discussion

Post by birdie »

I'm not a big fan of all the settings now shown on a single page:

Issues:

* This page is scrollable yet there's no scrollbar
* Under Linux when you try to resize it, it's jerky and slow as hell and CPU use jumps to 100%
* It's not easy to understand what you're looking at - maybe when you hit something on the left, e.g. USB, not only you need to scroll to the appropriate part of the dialog, you also could highlight it temporarily, e.g. flash it or something

Bugs:

* Have you thought of duplicate shortcuts? Check the attached screenshot:
* Speaking of shortcuts. I pressed Alt + 1/2/3/4 and they are active for the upper dialog but you need to press them twice or they are simply not registered
* For normal (single page) dialogs, pressing Ctrl + Tab or Ctrl + Shift + Tab changes the active tab. Currently it doesn't work at all. These shortcuts are broken.

Let's discuss it!

Hello Birdie,
We'll be working on that stuff a bit later as it's a bit tight timeframe right now.
Thanks for your report!
