Lowlights

• Regressions are still sucking a lot of time, but we're starting a rotating "regression sheriff" for mail/news so people can more easily plan their time.

Highlights

• Mike Pinkerton made good progress on drag & drop, you can now drag bookmarks window from 5.0 to 4.x and watch them load.  He also got rudimentary drop feedback on tree views, and on the personal toolbar.
• Resolved 46 bugs in the last week, fixing 24 of them.  See our resolved bug list  below for details.

Lowlights

• Regressions are costing a lot of time.  Focus testing is affected, and keybindings have apparently broken again.

Accomplishments

1. Stuart Parmenter fixed scrolling of really large pages by clamped down sizes drawing rects on unix to avoid overflows when scrolling (thanks dbaron) (bug 2564)  (pavlov)
2. Pav also got regions scriptable on unix (used by DND) (bug 12465) (pavlov)
3. Pav also got twips to pixels conversions right finally, hopefully. (pavlov)
4. Chris Saari has been hammering out remaining issues with focus, getting ready to land. (saari)
5. Chris also helped Paul Hangas hunt regressions with overlays. (saari, hangas)
6. David Hyatt helped Chris Waterson make some more signficant performance gains in secondary web pages, through 'brutal' sharing of content. (hyatt, waterson)

Priorities

1. evaughan:  Work on making dialogs look better.   Pork Jockey paint issues
2. Hyatt:  12687 Chrome registry .
3. Saari: Menu positioning, and fixing anything that is blocking Paul Hangas.
4. Fix bugs, PorkJockey, Blocker, PDT+, M12. (all)

Highlights:

• 35 editor bugs were resolved this past week
• We have 30 open major bugs for M12 bugs, 17 are PDT+
• The team resolved numerous M11 bugs, several PDT+ bugs, and a few of those annoying little issues.
• Check this one out from Akkana:
Helped Naoki fix the editor paste routines to understand kUnicodeMime, which uncovered a cascade of regressions which I spent most of Friday tracking down: first, there was a crash (18102) in the plaintext editor (which turned out to be due to a change in XUL event listeners); once that was finally worked around (by a change to not set up the nsInterfaceState in the case of a plaintext editor, during which Simon and I discovered that mEditorType in the editor shell is never set correctly and anything which depends on it is doing the wrong thing), I discovered that someone had disabled the calling of PasteAsPlaintextQuotation and InsertAsPlaintextQuotation (so that even the plaintext editor does html quotations, having nothing to do with the editor shell's mEditorType being set to html); after fixing that, I discovered that someone else had "fixed" Insert/PasteAsPlaintextQuotation to use a new string class but hadn't actually bothered to test them, and they didn't work at all. I'm continuing to work with Naoki to get the code rewritten so that it all works.
• >From our ever optimistic buster: "the Margarita Blend-Off is a joke, clearly the san diego team will crush all opposition!"

Lowlights:

• The current open bug count for the editor team is 251.

Accomplishments:

• Kin --
• fixed 17882 ([CRASH]), 17891 ([CRASH]), 16871 (spellcheck)
• worked with akkana and pavlov on bug 13407
• tracked down cause of dogfood blocker bugs 18002 and 18006, checked in temporary fix and filed bug 18092 for the real cause of the problem
• closed 16631 ([DOGFOOD])
• working on bug 16286 ([CRASH])
• created a "whotobug" page for the team

• Kathy --
• reviewed changes by cmanske, ftang, and others
• continued to work on bug 13438
• helped joki with his M11 bugs
• Steve --
• webshell work: implemented nsIWebShell::SetDocument(). This allows clients (like the text control) to hand the webshell a pre-fabricated document, rather than incurring the cost of nsIWebShell::LoadURL() which involves calling necko to spin a thread for loading about:blank, the speedup looks to be about 30%
• started work on detailed webshell task list. This will help us integrate a third person to help out.  maybe rick potts!
• fixed 17792, 17729, 17689 ([DOGFOOD][BLOCKER]) & 17727 ([dogfood])
• made significant progress on 14599 & 12646
• helped resolve bugs 16709, 18019, 18044

• Simon --
• checked in fixes for 18029 & 16723 - error handling in imglib. This required a change to the nsIImage API, which was implemented on all platforms.
• got code coverage tool working nicely, and collected code coverage data for startup (which show that we get on average 30% coverage for startup and first window).
• wrote Perl script to parse Mac link map files, and code coverage output, to generate code coverage data at the DLL, file and function level.
• Mike --
• changed focus to work on stylesheet reflection of selection.
• took several bugs off of saari's plate so he can focus on keybindings

• tracked down key event regression (return/enter stopped working) and checked in a fix for it.
• discussed issues blocking the implementation of platform keybindings (bug 18033)

• Joe: 12073 & 16481, and will provide IME support
• Simon: full code coverage analysis of the DLLs that are loaded at startup, look for ways to reduce the amount of unneeded code loaded at startup and bug 5085
• Mike: 18046 & 12958
• Charley: 14344 & 14342, working with UI team to resolve global CSS needs
• Akkana: 18102, 17341 & 18100 -- and pitch in to get key bindings moving (work toward bug 18033); continue to work with Daniel and Ben on plaintext output fixes (17871, 17883).

Issues:

• Simon is continuing to work with Porkjockey effort, editor tasks are on hold
