Cursor Behavior in LAN DHCP config

Open K5RA opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

PR #1376 reduced slightly the size of the base font on the Front Page and other windows. Intent may have been to allow all characters of IP and MAC addresses in the LAN DHCP window to show in their cells. This was not achieved. However, cursor operations as described in study below permit all characters to be accessed. Given that this is not something that is often necessary, making the Front Page as readable as possible should have priority.
The size of the base font should be taken back to what it was in nightly 20240823.

A Study of Cursor Behavior in LAN DHCP config window, AREDN new UI, 20240824 nightly build Test run on hAP ac lite and RP5B with latest bookworm and latest Chromium (V126…)

Address Reservations hostname pointy cursor changes to vertical line when moves into cell one click sets line cursor between letters double click selects one word under cursor triple click selects whole entry in each case, cursor responds to direction arrow keys

ip addr	nothing happens when cursor moves across cell
	one click opens a drop-down list of IPs, with the IP named in the cell highlighted 
                       N.B. - moving cursor can cause highlighted address to change
	next click closes the list

mac addr     pointy cursor changes to vertical line when moves into cell
	one click sets vertical line cursor in the cell
	click, hold, and drag to make selection or expose ends of address
		direction arrow keys move cursor to expose ends
	two clicks select a mac address digraph or colon
		direction arrow keys move cursor to expose ends 
	three clicks select whole address
		direction arrow keys move mac address to expose ends

mac addr	  pointy cursor changes to vertical line when moves into cell
	one click does nothing
	click, hold, and drag to make selection or expose ends of address
		right/left direction arrow keys move cursor to expose ends
