A bug I belive:
1) My biggest problem right now, on 4.3.6 and 4.3.7 is the following:
Starting and stopping the dubugger sometimes takes a really long time: ProjectMaker.exe becomes "Not Responding" in resource monitor for most of that time. The CPU goes up to about 50% (so it almost maxes 1 CPU core of 2).
Stating can take from 5 secs to 55 secs and stopping from 5 secs to 40 secs. Also, when it PM move slow it can take a long time (2-5 secs) to open configuration windows for actions and the mouse spins the wait circle for that time.
I am running windows 7 x64 in Parralels on a Mac Pro, on 2 xeon cores at 2.66 ghz and with 5gb of ram.
Sometimes Project Maker runs ok, and for no apparent reason it becomes really slow. It's really frustrating to wait 1 minute for debugging to start and almost another minute when I stop or the script finishes.
This problem is intermittent and I could not see a pattern for its appearance.
Suggestions for Project Maker:
2) When I double click on an action, the window that pops up show always show in the visible work space, not in a default position relative to the clicked action.
I have this problem when double clicking on actions close to the right side of the work space and the window pops up partially or completely outside the visible area. I then have to scroll to the right to see the window witch is a little annoying.
3) When I want to modify an action's comment, the window that pops up should always have the text in the edit field selected so I can just start typing a new comment or press left or right arrows to deselect the text and modify it. If the comment field is empty the text field should be selected, waiting for imput.
Sometimes the text is selected when I open the comment edit but not always - maybe its a bug?
This behavior should be present for all pop up windows that contain only one edit field like IF Logic and maybe others I can't remember right now.
4) When I move a group that has a custom comment and I drop the group, it jumps up the height of the comment text. So if I want to align it to another group or action I need to drop it one position lower so when it jumps up it is in the right place.
For groups without comments moving works properly.
5) When I move an action properties edit window, a copy of that window remains in the original place and only disappears when I drop it to the new location. I don't see the point of keeping a copy of the window in the original place. It is a little distracting.
6) Multiple action properties edit windows can be opened at the same time. Only one should have "focus" - the last one opened or the last one selected. This is important because it would be really convenient to be able to close the "focused" window with the Esc key and not have to click on the tiny red close button.
I find myself pressing the Esc key almost every time I want to close one of those windows and then I see the UI doesn't work this why (yet

.
7) In the ribbon, the Cancel and Repeat buttons should be named Undo and Redo maybe.

When I hover the mouse over the Toolbar in the right, I should be able to scroll the Toolbar, even if the "focus" is on the work space (as it usually is). At the moment I need to click on one of the Toolbar subsection titles or on the scroll bar itself before I'm able to scroll.
These are my suggestions for now. Hope some or all of them find their way into the next Zenno versions.
