After some consultation with my class this quarter,
it seems clear that the previous defaults and nearby
variations are completely hopeless for colorblind people
(there are at least 3 in this class). So go with the
defaults used in the HtDP languages, which have been
vetted by saidsame 3 people.
This will make switching back and forth between 5.1.3 and the latest
not lose the frame size and position preferences (since the format
of the data is different now that the current release remembers
the position on a per-monitor-configuration basis)
One drawback to the current situation (after this commit) is that all
log messages are sent into the user's logger, even messages that come
about as part of DrRacket's implementation. It isn't clear how to fix
this without enumerating all of the possible messages to share and
explicitly forwarding them (both of which are suboptimal things).
On the plus side, the GUI now uses the "debug@GC" notation in a text
field, and when the logger pane is not open, there is no extra work
going on. Plus other, minor GUI improvements.
- use the same font/size as the definitions/interactions window
- add a checkbox to control scrolling behavior and,
- when scrolling, scroll to the begining of the line, not the end
are shown in the corner of the window
This was an attempt to avoid opening up a whole status line in the
bottom of the window much of the time. But it doesn't really work
since as soon as you have a syntax error (which are relatively common)
you get that whole line opened up. That it, this attempted GUI interaction
depended on the bogus premise that read errors are somehow happening
in a transient way between error-free states.

Added an API to let tools have access to that
information (and compute more stuff)
Used that to make an online version of Check Syntax
which led to a separately callable Check Syntax API.
patterns instead of one pattern per suffix. (This was almost never
used -- only when saving a file that is in text mode.)
* Since this default is the same that the scheme
mode ("framework/private/scheme.rkt") sets, remove that
setting. (Leave it commented in case there's need to have some
different global default.) It makes the above default get used when
saving a scheme-mode file.
* Finally, for some reason the code in "framework/private/finder.rkt"
was not using these `default-filters' at all for the file open dialog
in `*get-file'. (I tracked it back to CVS when the code was written,
and it was never used.)
I made it use it now. This is visible on gtk (and probably on
windows, not sure what OSX does) in that openning a file would show
you all files. After this change, it would show only racket source
files, but there will be an option to switch the pattern to show all files.
** If the previous setup (showing all files) was intentional, it would
be better to simply change "drracket/private/main.rkt" to add the
racket source globs before the default. In that case it might also
make sense to uncomment the change in scheme.rkt back in, so when
saving the default is the racket file suffixes (but this sounds
like a confusing UI).
also cleaned up a bunch of little things in the bug report implementation:
- the abort had race conditions
- formatted the collections a little bit better (hopefully)
- broke the implementation up into multiple files
- fixed broken interaction with drracket (the drracket frame mixin is now being used properly)
- added the search string to the title of the window
- made the default preference includes scrbl files
- adjusted the title of the window to put drracket last
