Cursor Behavior in LAN DHCP config
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
