While I’m on the embedded view subject, there is another little thing that will inevitably crop up one day.
When designing a standard frameset (navigator frame on the left, main data frame on the right), if you show a view in the main frame, the view goes from the (left) navigator frame border to the (right) end of the active window, as it should.
However, if you display the same view embedded in a form, you get a 2-pixel margin between the navigator border and the actual start of the view.
I know this is nitpicking, but it reveals something to the user, who should really not be able to make the slightest difference.
And, as usual, Murphy’s law is always respected in that whatever a user should not notice, he will notice, however dense and un-computer-proficient he may be. And, more than likely, he will complain about it.
And I can’t do anything about it since the width of the embedded element is already at 100%.
So could this issue be added to the bug-correcting list ? An embedded view should really display just like a normal view, shouldn’t it ?
