G2 Testing - Accounts Window/File-New

[Volker Englisch]

Today I've tested the main Accounts window and the menu options under 
File/New.

- The window size/position is not saved between sessions

- The toolbar icons are not tabable (maybe they shouldn't because I can
   select the buttons by using the arrow keys?)

- When starting GC there is no focus.  Pressing TAB brings the focus to
   the Save button.  I guess the focus should be on the Save button by
   default just as it is when opening a register.

- When saving, the width of the Status Bar increases by a few pixels
   pushing up the Summary Bar until the save finished. It is restored at
   the end of the save process.

- There is no tooltip for the Save button

- The Delete button tooltip says
     Delete selected account
   It should say
     Delete the selected account
           ^^^^
   just as the Open and Edit button do.

- When double-clicking on the Account Name column to adjust the column
   width, the width isn't adjusted according to the accounts displayed
   and the second and third level accounts may be cut off.

- I open a register in a tab within the window.  The width of the Save
   button of the Accounts tab is 54px wide while the Save button of the
   Register tab is 64px wide.

Menu option File
- It looks like none of the submenus can be selected with the keyboard
   keys

- Sub menu New -> New File
   The Account Setup Druid comes up.  Going through the setup brings you
   to the 'Finish Account Setup' page where the label of the Finish
   button is 'Apply'.  I think I read that the label should be 'Finish'
   instead.

   When finished setting up the second account, both account tabs contain
   the same accounts information.  The original (first) account has been
   removed (actually I don't know what the expected behavior should be.
   Close the first and open the second account or allow both accounts
   next to each other to exist but I'm sure you didn't intent both
   accounts to contain the same information).

- Sub menu New -> Budget
   The preferences for the date format are not honored

   When entering values into the (monthly) budget I would expect to
   position the cursor in the first field and jump from one field to
   the next (like in a spreadsheet) by pressing the TAB key.

   The width of the Save button is smaller then the width of the Save
   button of the accounts tab.

   There is no tooltip for the Save and Close buttons

   When deleting a budget by selecting the 'Delete Budget' button GC
   crashes.  Deleting a 'budget' (the tab) when no budget data had been
   entered yet does not crash GC.

   I am wondering how 'Delete Budget' and Close differ?

   I am also wondering how Estimate Budget is supposed to work?  The
   tooltip says
     Estimate a budget for the selected cells
   but I can not see how to select more than just one cell.

   Budget Options:
   I would think that the name of the budget and the tab label should
   be identical.  The tab label is by default 'Budget' while the name
   is 'Unnamed Budget'.

   The 'functions' for the date field (t - today's date, m - beginning
   of the month, etc.) are not working.

   When setting the number of periods the labels are adjusted but the
   columns are not.  However, they are displayed correctly when
   reopening the budget.
   Please see the sample where a budget with 6 periods beginning on
   2000-01-01 had been changed to a budget with 2 periods beginning
   on 2005-07-10.

   Tooltips don't exist for all fields in the Budget Options window.

- Sub menu New -> New Account Hierarchy
   Merge Account Setup druid:
   There is an extra newline after 'the' in the second paragraph.
   There is an extra space before the second 'or' of the fourth
   paragraph.

   New Account Hierarchy Setup:
   The Back button is grayed out.
   This window is larger as the first window and opened at a different
   location.

   Choose accounts to create:
   * The title of the window should be
       Choose Accounts to Create
   * Tabbing from the 'Account Types' section goes to the 'Select All'
     button, then 'Clear All', then Blank, then Cancel, ...
   * Using the Arrow keys in the 'Account Types' section to scroll
     horizontally displays the Description of the account cut off.
   * Also the Accounts names are cut off

   Enter opening balances:
   * The title of the window should be
       Enter Opening Balances
   * Tabbing through the window sets the focus in the 'P' column
     header after the 'Forward' button.

   Finish Account Setup:
   * I believe the 'Apply' button should be labeled 'Finish'

   After canceling the druid and selecting the 'New Account Hierarchy'
   menu option for a second time nothing is happening.
   You have to exit GC and start again.  However, the lock file does
   not get removed when quiting GC.  It appears as if GC crashed
   without the usual Application Failed error message.
