Обсуждение: PGAdminIII 1.10, Beta 3: Problem with Comment field in New Column Dialogue

Hi,

I was testing PgAdminIII 1.10, Beta 3, and ran into the following problem:

When creating a "New Table" and then in the "Columns" tab, a "New Column",
the "Comment" text area seems to be disabled/blocked.

I am not able to type anything in this field at this stage. I can only
create the column and then add the comment later when editing an
individual column.

I tested on WinXP, 32bit. Can others reproduced the problem?

Thanks,
Andreas

It's a known limitation that is harder to fix than one might imagine.

I see. Thanks for answering.

In the case it is not easy to fix, maybe it would help to properly disable
this text-area. See the attached screenshot. It should be greyed out like
the "Length", "Precision" and "Default value" fields. On this screenshot
in the Windows version it looks like the "Comment" text area field is
active and available.

It is interesting, that the 1.8.4 release on Ubuntu properly greys this
text-area out (disables it), but the Windows vesion 1.8.10 does not.

Thanks,
Andreas

We do disable it properly, but it's not us that decides how the
control should look when rendered. Blame Microsoft for that :-p

In this case then there is nothing we can do ...

Thanks anyway for getting back about it,
Andreas
