Leo 3.1 Bugs

Double-clicking the font name also selects the font.

This behavior is due to a non-existent option in the Tk ListBox class.
AFAIK it can't be fixed until the Tk ListBox class is improved.

Fredrik Lundh discusses this at:
http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/x5453-patterns.htm

"Unfortunately, the listbox doesn't provide a command option allowing you to
track changes to the selection. The standard solution is to bind a
double-click event to the same callback as the OK (or Select, or whatever)
button. This allows the user to either select an alternative as usual, and
click OK to carry out the operation, or to select and carry out the
operation in one go by double-clicking on an alternative."

If anyone knows of a better solution I'd like to hear about it.

I'll look into this.  Thanks for reporting it.

You can resize it to a very small size by dragging the separator bar.  You
could also try the Toggle Split Direction command...

Do mean code in the derived files?  For code reviews, publishing, etc. you
can use the Remove Sentinels command in the File-Import & Export menu.

Is registering a problem?  I don't believe comp.lang.python is the
appropriate place to discuss all SourceForge project that happen to be
written in Python :-)
