User Interface:
- - GimpSpinScale will grab focus when starting to edit the entry, and
- in particular the current number will be fully selected (because
- often we want to just type down a completely different number
- accurately). Also when giving focus to the entry with the cursor
- (middle click), it doesn't click on the scale (i.e. value doesn't
- change).
+ - GimpSpinScale widget improvements:
+ * The widget will grab focus when starting to edit the entry, and
+ in particular the current number will be fully selected (because
+ often we want to just type down a completely different number
+ accurately).
+ * Also when giving focus to the entry with middle click (from
+ anywhere inside the widget), the scale value doesn't change in the
+ same time anymore.
+ * Finally we can now target-click accurately the entry current value
+ to edit the entry (again, without changing the value and selecting
+ existing number fully) with the main button (usually left button).
+ Even though middle click is simpler because we don't have to be
+ accurate (we can middle-click anywhere in the spin scale widget),
+ it is hardly discoverable, whereas clicking a number entry which
+ is meant to be editable is the most common GUI interaction
+ expectation.
+ * To help feature discoverability, when hovering the widget, the
+ cursor will change and show a "grab" cursor when a click would
+ start an absolute edit (the cursor changes to "grabbing" when
+ actually clicking and dragging the scale) or a "text" cursor when
+ a click would focus the number entry. When Shift key is being
+ hold, the cursor is the one for the relative edit, wherever the
+ position over the widget. This should make discovering possible
+ interactions with the widget a lot easier.
- Various improvements in the Layers dockable (and similar tree view
widgets):
* The bigger thumbnail popup on long click (e.g. on a layer or mask
