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.
This was there, I believe, to avoid latency when clicking
on the [docs] links in the language dialog. But now that
we're using a database anyways, loading the xrefs is fast.
- 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
Things should now generally be set up to work better --
for example online check syntax is smarter now about
what happens when switching tabs/frames and this also
makes it easier to add new ways for a window to become
dirty (that is, for it to be known that it needs to
be recompiled)
For example, a new DrRacket window (with a file named tmp.rkt in the
and 356 afterwards. This is under mac os x with, I believe, the
default system font sizes. (The file is important because different
languages can have different buttons in the toolbar and the filename's
length itself can affect the minimum size.)
Mostly this change is the addition of a new kind of panel that
lets its children have multiple fixed sizes (as opposed to
just a single minimum size and (optionally arbitrarily large))
It also adjusts the various toolbar buttons to use this new code.
Also, there's a few tweaks to shrink other things that became the
limiting factor in shrinking the width of the DrRacket window.
Currently, at least for #lang racket programs, the toolbar buttons
along the top of the window are the limiting factor (including the
save button). With a bogus language (ie, #lang rackeeet), the bottom
bar is the limiting factor, since that will have only the Save, Run,
and Stop buttons.

Typically, the bluebox table includes keys that have interned parts,
so serialization can save space both on disk and in memory when the
bluebox information is reloaded.
when the blue box doesn't fit in the visible region
in one direction (either x or y) but does fit
in the other region, then it was being drawn in
the wrong place
This code is still sub-optimal, since it isn't leaving
space for the words underneath the lock in the case
the lock is near the bottom of the visible region, but
it seems better to just let that be invisible rather
than make the lock float a bit in that case.

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.

getter/setters instead of overriding a method
this has the benefit that the delegate does not have to be
rebuilt when switching tabs in drracket; we just leave the
old delegate on the old definitions text, and the swap it
back into the editor-canvas when we swap the text% object
itself back in.
is no bluebox information, then we can just bypass updating
it on insertions (especially important when loading a big
file into drracket, as there is a lot of insertion but no
blue boxes (yet))
Specifically, two things:
- make drracket more careful to not crash when aspell
doesn't behave, and
- have a more careful test when clicking the menu item
(it now does a trial run of aspell instead of just
looking for the binary)
closes PR 13242 (I realize there is still a feature
request mentioned in the audit trail of that PR, but
since the main problem is fixed, I'll consider that
to just be something separate)
I started from tabs that are not on the beginning of lines, and in
several places I did further cleanings.
If you're worried about knowing who wrote some code, for example, if you
get to this commit in "git blame", then note that you can use the "-w"
flag in many git commands to ignore whitespaces. For example, to see
per-line authors, use "git blame -w <file>". Another example: to see
the (*much* smaller) non-whitespace changes in this (or any other)
commit, use "git log -p -w -1 <sha1>".
- make clicking on the example languages
select the 'The Racket Language' radio button
- when the clicked example language matches
the buffer, have a more friendly message
running the 'redraw the definitions/interactions label' timer when the
language didn't ask for those labels; this commit also avoids running
the timer when the user has disabled the labels
so that it waits until online check syntax actually
finishes (otherwise, there actually is a leak;
the link is broken when the message comes back from the
other place)
- lets other events be handled based on how long it has been
replaying the current trace (instead of based on the number of
pieces in the trace that have been seen)
- breaks up the syncheck:add-rename-menu pieces of the trace to
be more granular (to make the previous point work better)
This should make DrRacket more responsive when the trace is being
replayed
raw-module-path inside of a phaseless-spec (see
the #%require docs for the description of these).

I'd have liked to be more sophisticated in the way redraws
are triggered, but I don't see how (see long comment in this
commit for details)
