GUI - Various Bugs/Requests

[Stuart Walpole]

• Some controls do not support text properties. For example, lists do not support centre formatting, and if you nest an icon into a caption [icon=""], even if it isn't displaced, it's no longer possible to vertically centre the text in the control.

• Can we make "size=0 0 100% 100%" the default in sprite1.xml? It's seems to be the most common value ("stretched sprite").

• We need to add a clear() function for lists.

• Special characters are incorrectly interpreted (weird question mark), though seems to be more of a localisation issue.

• See example of checkbox implementation in Options; is this being used in the way it was intended?

• Absolute property should be inherited (eg set a parent to absolute so that its children can be absolute, without setting each in turn.)

• When objects overlap, whichever object is written first should have the lower z, making specification of z values largely unnecessary.

• Should be able to set the value of a control's event property (eg onPress) from script, since they can sometimes be conditional.

• Events for double-click, right-click, wheel-click, similar to onPress. Also wheel-up and wheel-down in system.cfg.
