Re: Preferences dialog navigation redesign

The chosen minimum should not be problematic for any modern resolution and it leaves enough room for all existing pages. I believe this is at the root of almost all the issues reported here. It is clear from reading the forum over the years that there are a number of users around the world who have...

True, but I did not see that as the topic.

I think we miscommunicated. I said the same thing.

There is no option to "name" a file before it is saved for the first time.

Re: Constraints - are there any precedence rules?

An order of precedence I believe constraints are applied in a completely neutral fashion. Dealing with constraints is handled by a solver that considers all constraints at the same time. No constraint has more "power" than any other. The removal suggestions you get when there is an error ...

However, tons of white lines with only 1 DOF remaining is very suspicious. Typically one would see only a couple or a...

Re: Combo view changes

Re: combo view tabs gone ?

See https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=83280. I spent at least 20 minutes yesterday trying to sort this out. Something got screwed up, no big deal, but it was incredibly difficult to get the correct behavior restored. I have never seen any program in many decades that was as difficult as Fre...
