Compound problems found while checking all crypto plugins #289

Closed simlei closed 4 years ago

simlei commented 4 years ago

In addition to https://github.com/jcryptool/crypto/issues/287, where all the single algorithms, games, visualization are checked, this issue serves to quickly note down problems that were found across all such plugins.

quite possible many of those have issues with overlap or even duplicates; the intent is to sort these out later when checking all crypto plugins is done.

Algorithm browser focus w.r.t. context help

If an algorithm, visual etc. registers context help, the algorithm browser loses focus on selection. This causes problems e.g. when using the algorithm browser in "popped out" side window, as it disappears on focus loss. It is hardly ideal in normal view too, as multiple double clicks may be needed to open the desired view.

Did you test on a JCT started out of eclipse or with an weekly build? The JCT started out of eclipse is sometimes a bit buggy.

I am testing on the latest weekly build

Scrolled composite

scrolling in views with the mouse pointer over an empty text field, or when there is no more scrolling in that direction to be had from the text field under the cursor, the scroll bar that overlooks the control does itself not scroll. In web browsers etc. this works as expected -- the scrolling is propagated upwards.

The only thing a user can do now is to find a spot for the mouse where nothing steals the scroll wheel input of the mouse which is not optimal.
