* When I select "Report a Bug" from the "Help" menu, it opens a "Launch Application" box and tells me to "Choose an Application." However, when I try to "Chose," it won't allow me to search for any sort of application! This may be a problem with Linux, but I think it might be a bug in reporting a bug!... (note: same is true for "Request Feature") [[User:Jwild|Jwild]] 20:54, 1 September 2011 (CEST) | |||
: This is not a bug, but the current solution is really not handful. You need to go to /usr/bin/ to find the firefox binary (for example). This problem occurs also by opening an external link in an article. This seems to be a GNU/Linux specific problem and is already tracked with this [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3376639&group_id=175508&atid=873518 feature request]. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 20:58, 1 September 2011 (CEST) | |||
* In the Content Library, is the reported article count correct? For example, one collection I made myself with 16 articles, says "(17 articles)" in the file's description in "My Library." More drastically (and actually, why I first noticed it), The Wikipedia 0.8 collection proclaims itself to have "45.000 best articles...", yet it says "(139.462 articles)"! Is there a way to check that? [[User:Jwild|Jwild]] 20:34, 1 September 2011 (CEST) | |||

*<s> In Library in the library sections "My Library" and "Get New Files", neither the down or up arrow keyboard strokes work to navigate. This would certainly make it more user-friendly! [[User:Jwild|Jwild]] 20:34, 1 September 2011 (CEST)</s> | |||

::ok, I went through and tested and re-tested...it closes sometimes but not consistently (nor often). For example, if I have 3 tabs open and press CTRL+W (close all tabs), it asks if I want to do that. If I press "No", then I cannot use "CTRL+W" again if those same 3 tabs are open (if I open a 4th, then it will register that request again).
