I just discovered an outstanding bug (#2110 [see
http://www.vtk.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=2110&pos=18]) whose symptom
resembles the problem I've been having with the paraview file dialog on
my MacBook Pro and on a couple Linux systems, to wit,
Since my users won't add an extension to their filenames, I have to
select my custom reader from a long menu of readers available from
the file dialog.
But, on the machines I mentioned, this menu fills the entire screen
horizontally and extends into the virtual space beyond the screen
vertically -- without the helpful, vertical-scrolling carets one
might see on other systems.
So, while holding down the mouse button, I have to use the vertical
arrow key to cycle through the reader list to the top or bottom, and
then count the arrow-keystrokes off-screen to the reader I need (the
number having been determined by trial and error).
(I'd have to do the same to select "All Files", since that's
off-screen, too.)
Silly.
Is anyone working on this?
Will it only be fixed when paraview goes to Qt?
Thanks.
