I created a very nice complex glyph that was difficult to build and contained
a large set of palette buttons. I was hoping to use an instance of this glyph
in a dialog, and another in a menu. I am quite disappointed that if I put
the glyph in a menu, I cannot select individual buttons.
Would it be possible to merge Buttons and MenuItems in a future version of
Interviews? This would allow the use of all of the fancy layout glyphs
in menus and separators outside menus.
I also discovered that a button placed inside a button does not get any input
(3.1-beta2). The only way I managed to work around this was to use an overlay,
but that makes formatting quite painful.
There needs to be a method to build a subclassed glyph through a WidgetKit
without needing to subclass or re-implement the WidgetKit. This is the only
way to add new functionality and remain look-and-feel neuteral.
Finally, I have found a need for a Motif-style row/column glyph that forces
all of the sub-glyphs to the same size. The current solution is to force each
sub-glyph to a fixed size, someting that does not allow the sub-glyphs to
change easily.
