[etoys-dev] Etoys 4.0.2258 beta

[kharness at illinois.edu]

HI Bert,
I just tried the new download and noticed a couple of problems, but  
maybe they are features, I can't tell anymore. I am out of touch with  
the amount of change.

Object Catalog: in 't' for text the space is not enough for the bottom  
line of objects
Paint tool: when the clean edge tools are being used, it is possible  
to click and drag and move the paint scrim, this was very unexpected  
and I think many children will do this by accident and think it is  
broken. It certainly felt odd to me.

A month or so ago I asked Tim if the Help-update-code-from-server  
(accessed via alt-shift-w) access be re-instituted. I think it will  
help people like me who are not developers but who do use Etoys with  
children who in turn do unexpected things with the tools provided. We  
may help identify problems earlier in the process than this. Is that  
pipeline going to be reopened?
Regards,
Kathleen
