Design System: Tokens and base classes as own package (wave 0)
#29625
TL Views: a page layout of weighted columns (main 2/3, side 1/3) that reflows to one column on a narrow viewport; the split-panel keeps its sashes and clips the side pane at 400 px
#29629
TL Views: `<show-view>` / `<show-views>` actions reveal a mounted view by name and write its channels from a command chain without a model object

Create documentation for layout overlays
#29500
No way to show a master-detail as an overlay: the detail always costs the list half its width
#29506
A dashboard tile cannot be the entry point it looks like: neither <tile> nor <card> carries an action
#29550
React controls do not consume the theme's radius and surface tokens consistently; a flat theme needs per-component CSS overrides
#29553
React view <table>: <column> has no width, every column defaults to 150 px, so a table with more than six columns overflows a 940 px pane
#29611
TL Views: `<notify>` action shows a translated notice in a generic-command chain (snackbar or OK dialog, optionally stopping the chain); `<throw-error>` removed

TL Views: Anlegen und Löschen richten sich nach den Modell-Zugriffsrechten, statt erst nach dem Ausfüllen mit „Kopieren nicht erlaubt“ abgelehnt zu werden
#29683
TL-Script: htmlText(html) cannot carry images, so an HTML text with <img> referencing files cannot become a structured text

#29665
TL Views: a click into a rich-text field with a hidden label focuses the editor's Bold button, so the typed text is lost

React view layer displays date attributes in a hard-wired format instead of the annotated one

Die Cookie-Prüfung weist den erneuten Aufruf ihrer eigenen URL ab und meldet dabei die Sitzung ab
#29512
Attribute in tl.model, die de-facto mandatory sind, auch als mandatory deklarieren
#29533
TL Views: executability rules and derived channels must follow changes of the object on a channel, not only of the channel value
#29534
TL Views tile-stack: frames get no definite height, and a frame that is uncovered again is rebuilt from scratch
#29535
TL Views table: a selection channel value that is not among the rows must not be cleared by the table
#29541
Single-valued drop-down select shows two clear buttons
#29554
React view <table>: Spalten für beliebige Zeilenobjekte – berechnete Spalten, eingebettete Spalten referenzierter Objekte, dynamische Spalten; transiente Zeilen
#29556
react-api/tooltip runs without a TLSubSessionContext: a cell tooltip over a derived attribute using label() answers HTTP 500 (NullPointerException in Label.eval)
#29560
React view <upload-command>: Fehler beim Upload (Ausnahme in der Aktionskette, überschrittenes Größenlimit) erreichen den Benutzer nicht; Upload-Größenlimit konfigurierbar
#29562
security.xml grants for a SecurityScopeService scope are lost on the start that introduces the scope: AccessConfigurationSetupService imports before the scope exists and stores the file hash anyway
#29564
SecurityConfigurationService: an application cannot add a role to a framework type's grant — a <class> grant is keyed by operation and replaces the earlier entry, silently revoking the framework's roles
#29568
TL Views: Eine ohne Anmeldung aufgerufene Route geht beim Login verloren
#29573
TestReactStylesheetTokens fails on master: the pill and progress rules of tlReactControls.css do not keep the theme-token contract
#29574
TL Views: Veto eines verschachtelten Channel-Schreibzugriffs bricht die Benachrichtigung des äußeren Channels ab (Tabelle und Detailbereich bleiben nach "Verwerfen" auf dem alten Objekt)
#29576
React-Controls-Bundle enthält eine zweite React-Instanz (createPortal-Import in TLDropdownSelect)
#29586
tl-layout-react test compilation fails on master: TestSelectValueObservation and TestResourceCellObservation use the DefaultReactContext constructor that #29552 removed
#29590
React view: Mehrwertige String-Werte werden in Tabellenzellen und Anzeigefeldern ohne Trennzeichen aneinandergehängt
#29602
TL Views: a URL adopted into an existing session keeps the slot content of the sidebar item that was active before
#29604
ElementSecurityUpdateManager: quadratic collection diff on commit (AbstractSet.removeAll over a List) makes appending to a large reference take seconds
#29609
TL Views: a `<progress>` (ChannelObjectObserver) evaluates its expression on a deleted object and logs an ERROR when an observed object is deleted
#29610
TL Views: a table on an inactive tab shows stale cell values after the displayed objects changed, until its rows are refreshed
#29613
TL Views: a `<dashboard>` tile gets no definite height, so a table in a tile grows with its rows instead of scrolling
#29618
TL Views: a URL switches the sidebar away from an item with unsaved changes without asking
#29619
TL Views: a warning-level configuration constraint is dropped, so the model editor shows nothing
#29620
TL Views: a tree node is never a link to where its object is displayed, although the display targets declare one
#29622
TL Views: a `<flow-diagram selection="ch">` writes its channel but does not follow it, so a node selected elsewhere is not marked in the diagram
#29623
Build: the translate goal re-translates committed German messages after a pull or branch switch when the doclet did not run in the same build
#29626
TL Views: a panel toolbar has no overflow mode; at 400 px width the ticket page's six commands run 908 px wide, three of them unreachable, and the panel title is pushed out
#29627
TL Views table: an I18NString cell wraps its text and is clipped mid-glyph by the 36 px row instead of ending in an ellipsis; header labels are cut without an ellipsis
#29631
TL Views: Escape closes a <window> dialog while a <start-job> it started is still running; the job runs on with nothing left to show or cancel it
#29634
TL Views: the configuration editor builds a text field for a property whose format is parse-only, so selecting a derived attribute in the model editor fails with "There is no normative way to serialize a locator configuration"
#29635
TL Views: a <tree> renders every node as a link, so a click on the label navigates away instead of just selecting the node
#29639
TL-Script objectResolve(id, typeOrTable): resolution via a type including its subtypes or via a table name, objectTable delivers the table of an object, and an object the current user may not read is not resolved
#29644
Inkrementelle Security unvollständig bei Verwendung von scripted-steps
#29648
TL Views: Die über ClientResources ausgelieferten Skripte und Stylesheets tragen keine Version in der URL, der Browser verwendet nach einer Aktualisierung veraltete Client-Dateien
#29649
TL Views: a job's final state is overwritten by a stale "running" snapshot, so <job-status> shows a completed job as running
#29666
TL Views: leaving a frame by breadcrumb, Back, navigate-pop, show-object or logout discards a form's unsaved changes without asking
#29667
TL Views: a form in edit mode keeps showing stale values after a command committed a change to the same object
#29672
TL Views: initial-edit-mode, an object switch and the edit-mode channel enter edit mode without asking <edit-executability>
#29674
TL Views: after a page load, app-bar command labels appear in the browser's language instead of the user's ("Record" in a German session)
#29677
TL Views: a card in a content-sized column stack shrinks below its content; a table beside it takes more height than it reports
#29678

#29680
Classic UI: the anonymous session is offered the developer options and can run "Ressourcen neu laden"

#27889
Switch to SNAPSHOT version does not work
#28474
Background colors of the buttons are not consistent
#29496
React table: a column resize is rejected with "Integer value expected" and the new width is lost when the client sends a fractional width
#29497
React UI tooltips: clipped table cells and column headers, compact toolbar buttons and attribute descriptions get tooltips; native title attributes replaced by bridge tooltips
#29503
TLResourceCell ships no CSS: icon and label touch wherever a resource cell shows both
#29505
Panel header changes height when its toolbar has no commands, so master-detail headers do not line up
#29508
Weitere QueryExecutor bedürfen keiner Security
#29552
TLPhotoViewer fetches its image after the control was disposed when a <switch> replaces it (404 on react-api/data, "Command target NOT FOUND" WARN)
#29555
TL-Script label(<constant>) is folded at compile time: the result is fixed to the compiling thread's locale instead of the reading user's
#29558
XMLInstanceImporter silently imports an internationalized attribute given as value="…" as empty, even when the attribute is mandatory
#29561
TL Views: display of a referenced object does not follow a change of its label (table cell, form field)
#29563
Standardgruppe: das persistierte Gruppen-Flag "defaultGroup" wird aus der Konfiguration abgeleitet statt in der Datenbank gespeichert; Semantik der Standardgruppe dokumentiert
#29591
ResKey.decode akzeptiert in #(…)-Literalen nur doppelt gequotete Übersetzungen — #('Travel'@en) schlägt fehl, obwohl TL-Script beide Quote-Arten erlaubt
#29606
TL Views: a `<color token>` naming a token the React theme does not emit renders the pill untinted, silently
#29628
TL Views: "Reset personal settings" clears the stored configuration, but the running session keeps its table state and writes it back; the declared column widths return only after a new login
#29636
TL Views: a click on a <tree> node clears the selection channel before setting it, so every dependent display and command flips to empty and back
#29663
TL Views: a <form> no longer insets itself; a <fields> grid inside a form got the page inset twice
#29664
TL Views: the form's Edit, Save, Cancel and Apply commands are labelled with a trailing period ("Bearbeiten.", "Speichern.")
#29668
TL Views: the rich-text editor's toolbar overflows a narrow field; table and undo/redo buttons are cut off
#29669
A request with a malformed query string ("?q=50%") is answered with an "Internal error" page (HTTP 500) instead of 400
#29673
TL Views: personalization commands ("Layout bearbeiten", "Diesen Filter speichern") are offered to the anonymous session
#29676
TL Views admin: deleting an account logs "Target object is deleted" from the still-open account form; delete asks for no confirmation
#29679
TL Views: a command refused by its executability rule is reported with the title "Interner Fehler"

#29540

Usability feedback on the user menu and the personal settings dialog

MigrationReactUI

Follow-up to #29525 (the app-bar user menu of the com.top_logic.layout.view layer). Usability feedback on the first version, and what is done about each point.

Login is hidden behind the menu

Login hinter Menü versteckt, schwer zu finden. Wenn kein Nutzer angemeldet ist, sollte "Login" direkt sichtbar sein.

An anonymous session sees an avatar of the anonymous account, and Login only after opening it. The account area (user-menu.view.xml) becomes a <switch> over the current user: an anonymous session gets a plain Login button and nothing else - no avatar, no menu, so no theme switching before logging in - and a logged-in session gets the menu, which loses its Login entry. Logout stays in the menu: leaving is looked for by the person who is logged in, and the menu is where the rest of their account is.

The switch needs to tell the anonymous account from a user's, which TL-Script could not: accountIsAnonymous() (AccountFunctions in tl-model-search) answers it for any account, so currentUser().accountIsAnonymous() is the test.

Section labels

Sektions-/Gruppenlabels fehlen. Sprach- und Themeauswahl sollten "Sprache" und "Theme" oder "Erscheinungsbild" als Label für die Sektion bekommen.

A menu separates its groups by a line and nothing else, so the reader has to recognise the languages and the themes by their entries. A group of a menu may now carry a heading:

  • ContextMenuContribution gains an optional label; ContextMenuOpener emits it as a MenuEntry of a new kind header at the top of the contribution, after the separator, and only when the contribution has visible entries.
  • TLMenu renders the header as a non-focusable, non-selectable caption (not a menuitem; excluded from keyboard navigation).
  • AbstractMenuElement.Config.CommandGroup gains a label (ResKey), and ViewCommandSource.Config gains one too. <language-commands> and <theme-commands> default theirs to "Language" / "Sprache" and "Theme" / "Theme", so every menu using the sources gets the headings without writing them; a view overrides the text where it disagrees.

Found on the way: a menu taller than the viewport scrolls, but moving the focus with the arrow keys did not scroll the focused entry into view, so the focus left the visible part. The focused entry is now kept in view.

The active choice is marked, not disabled

Die aktive Sprache und das aktive Theme werden im Menü deaktiviert dargestellt. Das ist kein gutes Feedback für "aktiv".

The language and theme sources marked the choice in force by offering its entry as non-executable, which the menu shows greyed out - the reader cannot tell "this is what you have" from "this is not available". A command now has an explicit active state, independent of executability and visibility:

  • CommandModel.isActive() (default false) says whether the command's effect is currently in force - the alternative chosen among a set, or a toggle that is pressed; SimpleCommandModel.setActive(BooleanSupplier) configures it, read on every display like executability.
  • A menu entry of an active command carries the CSS class tlMenu__item--active and aria-current="true" and is set in bold (MenuEntry gains an active component, sent as active by ReactMenuControl, passed by ContextMenuOpener). The entry stays selectable.
  • A button of an active command carries tlReactButton--active and aria-pressed (ReactButtonControl mirrors the model state). This is the rule the toggle button already used under the name tlReactButtonActive; TLToggleButton shares the renamed class.
  • <theme-commands> and <language-commands> mark the theme and the language in force as active; both entries stay executable. Choosing the active language again neither stores nor reloads.

Actions are labelled with verbs

Bei Aktionen Verb benutzen: Abmelden anstatt Abmeldung.

  • Menu: Abmeldung → Abmelden, Anmeldung → Anmelden (also the Login button above).
  • Login dialog: the submit button Anmeldung → Anmelden; the dialog title stays a noun.

Settings dialog: Save and Cancel

Einstellungen: Speichern und Abbrechen statt Schließen.

The dialog's own button is relabelled Cancel / Abbrechen, and Save closes the dialog: each tab's Save chain becomes <with-transaction><store-form-state/></with-transaction><close-dialog/> (base account tab in settings-tabs.view.xml and the profile tab overlay in tl-layout-view-contact). With Save closing the dialog, the two buttons read as the usual pair of a form dialog. On the security tab, which holds actions rather than fields, Cancel merely closes.

Settings > Security: no status of the second factor

Kein Status bei 2FA/Multi-FA Auth. Lösung: Label / Statuszeile.

The tab offers set up or switch off and lets the reader infer the state from which button is shown. A status line above the buttons states it: "Two-factor authentication: active" / "not active", a <switch> over the account evaluating whether a secret is stored - the same condition that decides which button is offered. No date is recorded, so the model is unchanged.

Settings > Profile: consistent labels

"Nachname" anstatt "Name"; Telefon und Telefon mobil ausschreiben.

  • The profile form labels the name field "Last name" / "Nachname" through the field's own label (FieldElement.Config); the model label stays "Name", since Contacts:Contact#name is the company name for a company contact.
  • The model label of Contacts:Contact.Person#phone_mobile changes from "Tel. mobil" / "Phone, cellular" to "Telefon mobil" / "Mobile phone" in model.Contacts.messages_*.properties of com.top_logic.contact; phone already reads "Telefon".

Confirmation dialog offers Maximize

Bestätigungsdialog (z.B. persönliche Einstellungen zurücksetzen): Dialog maximieren braucht es an dieser Stelle nicht.

ConfirmDialogControl builds its ReactWindowControl with the default resizable=true, and TLWindow shows the maximize button for every resizable window. A confirmation is a fixed-size dialog, so the control sets resizable=false, which drops the button and the resize handles.

Timezone must not be empty

The timezone of an account is required for every date the user sees, and tl.accounts:Person#timezone has a default value provider, so it is marked mandatory (model plus update-property migration Ticket_29540_mandatory_timezone, as in Ticket_29512_mandatory_model_attributes.migration.xml). A mandatory single select renders no clear affordance at all; the select control's own clear buttons are #29541's concern.

Verification

Verified in the browser on the React demo application (tl-demo-react), in German and English: the anonymous app bar shows the Login button and no avatar or menu; logged in, the menu lists Abmelden, the account group, then "Sprache" and "Theme" as captions above their entries, which the arrow keys skip; the current language and the current theme are the only bold entries of their groups, enabled, and choosing them again closes the menu without a reload while choosing another one switches and moves the mark; Save closes the settings dialog and the saved value persists; the security tab states the second-factor status; the profile labels read Nachname, Telefon, Telefon mobil; the confirmation dialog has no maximize button; the timezone field has no clear button after the migration ran on an existing database; no console or server errors. Unit tests cover the active state on ContextMenuOpener and ReactButtonControl.

Migration

Behaviour changed, no code change needed.

  • tl.accounts:Person#timezone is mandatory. Existing databases are migrated by Ticket_29540_mandatory_timezone; the attribute has a default value, so no account is left without one. Code that sets the timezone of an account to null now fails validation.
  • A menu heads a group contributed by <language-commands> or <theme-commands> with "Language" / "Theme". An application that wants other headings sets <label> on the source, or none by setting it to an empty key.
  • The account area of user-menu.view.xml renders no avatar and no menu for an anonymous session, only the Login button. An overlay contributing entries meant for anonymous users must place them elsewhere.
  • The entries of the theme and the language in force are enabled and marked bold; they were disabled before.

Signatures changed. ViewCommandSource gained getLabel(); an implementation outside the engine must implement it (returning null for no heading). ContextMenuContribution gained a three-argument constructor; the two-argument one is unchanged. CommandModel gained isActive() with a default of false, so implementations need no change. The record ReactMenuControl.MenuEntry gained an active component; code constructing entries through the record constructor or the five-argument item(...) factory passes it. A theme styling tlReactButtonActive uses tlReactButton--active.
