Well thats what i says in
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Templates_and_documents_rework/Design_Bugs
i was just trying to remember it.

i invite you to try the latest master build, i been working on squashing a
few bugs
and working on the pending ones.

Cant reproduce in latest master build

I think in the end will just go for  adding a checkbox in the open dialog
to edit templates
since the template manager should only handle the ones saved in the proper
folders.

  * Can't selectively copy over styles from a template into current
>     document (regression, don't know bug no.) [design needed]

I'm not really sure this would belong to the template manager, but more
into the Styles and Formatting dialog through the load styles action


>   * Can be opened multiple times (confusing?) [Is that a bug?]

Yeah it is

  * "Sort by name" has large Galaxy icon (looks like Alex's instead of
>     default) amidst smaller Tango icons

Well you can provide me with the icon or change it yourself if you want


>   * Size of thumbnails within folder rectangle changes when clicking on/

  * Down-arrow should jump to last item when there is no item

Cant reproduce in latest master build

  * No minimum size for dialogue resizing set

Well if someones adds templates to the folders without using the manager it
let users update the view
(Maybe a more elegant solution could be made but dunno at the moment)


>   * Tabs blink incessantly blinking when moving mouse over them

OS?


>   * Creating a new folder should not need a dialog (just add a folder
>     "Untitled Folder" and let the user edit the name of it in place)

Its a better approach but dunno how to make it work consistently for all
languages,
i know we can localize the name but numbers??

Well i discussed that one with cedric and we settled that we should add a
blank item
so users can create a new blank document of the desired type, but if they
edit it, it wont be a blank
document.

>     template)

What you propose instead?

You mean like a visual feedback that the template is the default one?


>   * Resetting default templates is a bit complicated – maybe we can

Well i just did it as the old dialog, since that wasnt in the design, any
ideas are welcome
and well i think its more convenient


>   * Can't search/sort/refresh/reset default as long as a template is
>     selected

Fixed in latest master and will land in 4.0.3 too

  * Pressing Esc should not close window when search bar is open (should
>     only search bar)
>   * Maybe a more obvious way of closing the search bar might be helpful
>     [is that a bug?]

Like?


>   * Unnecessary whitespace at below of template names – grid should
>     resize a bit more flexibly
>   * No continuous scrolling in template list
>   * No big, obvious Open button

So we have a more visible action besides double click?


>   * Selection state persists across tabs – user gets irrelevant toolbar
>     actions
Fixed in latest master
