| # | | #14 || '''[[#Unusual keyboard shortcuts on OSX]]''' || In the Mac version, the Keyboard shortcuts are not typical for a Mac application (normally the Command key is used rather than Control). Regardless, they do not actually work using either keys. || closed || 100% || || || 2 hours | ||

| # | | #16 || '''[[#Back button wrong behaviour]]''' ||While it was indexing, I decided to try clicking some article links. This worked fine, although I was not able to return to the home page by using the back button. (Strangely this only happened the first time I left the home page. On subsequent attempts I was able to go back to the home page by clicking the back button.) || reprocase || 0% || || High || 1 hour | ||

| # | | #17 || '''[[#Preferences dialog box]]''' || It might be nice to have a preferences pane where you could set things like "Always show the tab bar", "Remember browsing history", etc. || realization || 20% || || Medium || depends what we want inside the preference dialog | ||

| # | | #19 || '''[[#DNS prefetching]]''' || although this isn't a user interface issue, it seems that Kiwix makes DNS requests on all the external links included in each Wikipedia article it loads (without clicking on them). So if I pull up World War II, for example, Kiwix might make a couple hundred DNS requests. This isn't bad for someone living in the US, but if you are in a remote area and don't have unlimited data for free, it could be an unexpected surprise, since Kiwix is supposed to be an "offline" reader. Just thought I would pass it along. || closed || 100% || || || | ||

| #1 || '''[[#Revamp the help page]]''' || The help page must be more complete, more ''sexy'', with screenshots. It should also provide an easy way to download new content. || proposal || 0% || || Low || 30 hours | |||

| # | | #2 || '''[[#Kiosk mode]]''' || It would also be cool to have a kiosk mode available in which the interface would be fullscreen unless a special keyboard command was issued. || discussion || 0% || || low || 5 hours (must also be more detailed) | ||

| # | | #3 || '''[[#History navigator]]''' || You can purge your history, but you can't view it. It would be nice to be able to browse through your history either from a menu or the Sidebar.. || discussion || 0% || || Low || really depends what we want here. A few hours to get a simple list of pages but a lot of work if you want a mgmt tool. | ||
