Tim,

EWB3 is looking great - like the new layout and features though only been able to scratch surface tiny bit so far.

Couple of comments/issues  :

1. Function implementation with comments only in body gets wiped out when compiling

I had put in implementation placeholder like this (same if you comment out existing code):

procedure TForm1.log(const s:string);
begin
  //todo logging later
end;

and when I compile (Crtl-F9) it gets removed by IDE compiler

Compiler then emits "[Error] frmMain.wbs (14,7): Implementation not found for log declaration"


2. Similar to what Douglas reported but typing a space jumps to new line if "Allow the cursor in trailing white space" is unchecked. I'll report anyways in case it's not covered by same fix:

I was typing "ShowMessage('hello<space> - and <space> jumped cursor to start of next line

3. if server status display is enabled and you take server offline then IDE becomes sluggish (i'm guessing it still executing requests to get server performance metrics for status updates in main IDE thread) - with internal server.

4. Nice to have - one click clear of the library search filter (i.e. X at the end of the edit box or such) - right now it's double-click and delete to clear it

5. Nice to have - "Edit Server" button on "server manager" toolbar. Right click menu setting works OK.

Raul,

Yep, this one was mentioned in the release notes (under "The following are outstanding issues with 3.00").

<< 2. Similar to what Douglas reported but typing a space jumps to new line if "Allow the cursor in trailing white space" is unchecked. I'll report anyways in case it's not covered by same fix: >>

I just put up build 2, but I don't think it will fix this issue.  I'm probably going to have to just remove the trimming until the save point (the auto-trimming of lines is what is causing this).

<< 3. if server status display is enabled and you take server offline then IDE becomes sluggish (i'm guessing it still executing requests to get server performance metrics for status updates in main IDE thread) - with internal server. >>

I'll check this out.

Good idea, noted.

Yeah, I've been on the fence on how many buttons to put on those small toolbars, and whether to make them context-sensitive like the popup menus.
