feature request: improve the text boxes under "Network Configuration"
These are reminiscent of the early Windows days.
The problem is that if you click in the wrong position (in the correct box), you cannot type as many digits as you might want. For example, .__X
(X
= where you clicked), you can only type one digit. Clicking into ._X_
lets you type two digits.
Copy-and-paste from another box will encounter the same problem if you aren't perfectly in the same place as from where you copied. The TAB
key does not go to the next octet, rather, goes to the next text field.
Clicking .
(period) goes to the next octet but does not clear values after the ones I've entered. For example, if an octet contains 192
and I click over the 1
, I want to replace 192
with 10
, then I type 10
and .
, I would expect the first octet to contain 10
and have the cursor at the second octet. What actually happens is, I have the first octet with 101
and now I'm on the second octet.
I would like to be able to enter 10
TAB
0
TAB
2
TAB
15
and not have to fight the UI.
Additionally, the underscores where digits do not exist are visually confusing.
Validation can be done after I've finished entering (whether clicking out of the box, or when "Next" is pressed).
