Hi,
I just noticed when browsing b4 (on OS X) that 1) if I try to create
a new operator, I cannot write its name, I just get beeps. Another
thing that at some point of time would be good (for OS X, it is) is
that 2) the dialog buttons seem to be in random order, when the
default (or OK, though not necessarily so) should be the bottom right
one.
1) would be easy to fix for release, about 2) I am not that sure,
because there is so much stuff there.

You realise there are a very limited set of characters that can be used
in operators, and pgAdmin will restrict you to those only?

The allowed characters are:

+ - * / < > = ~ ! @ # % ^ & | ` ?

The backup and restore dialogs are wrong, but all the rest look OK as
far as I can see. Any others I've missed that need fixing?

A note for me: RTFM!

The dialogs to create:
1) functions
2) trigger functions
3) views
4) triggers
5) rules,
at least so it seems. (OK button should be rightmost)

Soryy for the delay getting back to this. The affected dialogues are all
(apart from not the ones I tested!) the resizeable ones. This is
significant because they use sizers to position the buttons, so I think
what happens when I try to swap them like we do in the other dialogs is
that the sizers just redraw everything and put them right back where
they were.

I'm trying to figure out a fix for this which doesn't involve
platform-specific XRC files...

Anyone have any ideas how we can fix this? Swapping the buttons simply
doesn't work afaict because the sizers just return them to their
original positions. I'm trying to avoid having platform specific XRC
files or any hacks involving swapping the events...

I'm pretty stumped right now :-(
