Defects Fixed

• Creating a new plant without height or spread displayed garbage in the height and spread fields.
• The construction draw style showed non-plant rotated incorrectly.
• Plants could sometimes show up with a spread equal to their height. This was most noticeable with tall thin plants like sunflower.
• Plants may have been looked up incorrectly by name.
• Adding plant with identical variety twice in the same row made two identical materials
• Couldn't drop mulch on an area covered by a plant radius
• Items on alternate plots didn't show up in list view
• Entering 2'3cm incorrectly set the field to 20"
• Entering range as 2-3' should have been the same as 2' to 3' (2" to 3' should still work)
• Entering length or maxLength with unnamed plant silently failed
• There was a problem clicking on a picture column when used on multi-year lists
• Hyperlink text color didn't change when clicked
• Selecting alternate picture didn't change the dialog.
• Two pastes in a row on picture popup doesn't create two entries on the plant.
• If entering name and variant on an unknown quantity as one string, didn't enter data into variety column
• Crash opening find dialog with no document open
• Couldn't redo moving endpoints on an arc
• Couldn't do planChange on more than one element
• Having 2 elements selected while dragging would sometimes causes them to jump when moving elements
• When alternate move elements and adding attached dimensions, sometimes undo steps seem to be lost
• Selecting two elements and dragging deselected only one item
• The delete key didn't delete plan elements
• Didn't accept copy of item from finder (select jpeg icon in finder, copy)
• Non-plant items weren't getting into the "All in document" menu
• Used to enable tools which were not valid for the active material (Arc should not have enabled for planting bed)
• Fixed some application waits (spinning beachball cursor)
• undo /redo resize of title failed
• Changing path width should have affected the plant count in the GetInfo window.
• keystrokes don't make it through to tools unless a plant had been added to the canvas
• Delete key doesn't work for non-material element types
• Fill a group, then select. FIll disappears. Save & re-open, fill show until selected again.
• There was an error using info tool on group
• Some plant entries were missing height and/or width.
• There were problems selecting small non-plant items (ex: wall) (Allow click 'n' pixels away from a non-plant item)
• Rectangle paths would not resize correctly after save/restore
• Dropping turf over bench caused the bench to disappear. GardenSketch now enforces ordering of different types of elements
• Backdrops used to show up in monochrome drawing styles
• Info tooltip left up when window closed, or possibly just when tool switched, which could cause a crash.
• Text & Title boxes drawn incorrectly for sizes smaller than the rounded corner radius
• Don't allow changing the border style if the box is tool small.
• Don't display title GetInfo for text boxes
• Problems using some characters in document properties
