[Qtitools-mathassess] validatr

[James A. <j.a...@ki...>]

Hi

It has come to my attention that there is a problem with Validatr.

The problem is as follows:
When ADDING elements to a TemplateProcessing (for example), one right 
clicks an element, chooses Add, selects a new Element, e.g. 
SetTemplateValue.

Then you right click Add, and add an Expression, the list produced is 
very long and disappears off the bottom of the screen. There is no way 
to access the hidden list items. This is a known bug with the Java 
JPopupMenu (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4503727).

The suggested fix is to use a dialog instead 
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/493247/how-to-create-a-scrollable-jpopupmenu/494047).

I had a look at doing this and the task is not trivial. This has 
implications for Mathqurate because Validatr is used. This problem means 
Mathqurate cannot fully support FELTAR until a resolution is found.

Is there resources to fix Validatr? Please can I have some comments and 
ideas about the next steps?

James
