Description Dean Roberts CLA 2002-04-25 11:43:52 EDT 
It dings, but there is no visual cue.  This is a problem if you have your 
speakers turned off.

Probably even an accessibility issue?
Comment 1 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-05-04 17:06:34 EDT 
it is an accessability issue and we have it in other locations as well.

a message in the status line will not get the user's attention. 
To really get the attention we could show a status dialog "End of document 
reached" with an OK button only. When pressing OK then stepping wraps around to 
the beginning again.
Comment 2 Andre Weinand CLA 2002-05-17 05:22:21 EDT 
Fixed for 20020518.
Showing dialog before wrapping around.
Comment 3 Dean Roberts CLA 2002-05-17 07:35:24 EDT 
I think a dialog is way too intrusive.  I've seen other editors flash the 
editor text to reverse video momentarily.

If we really have the dialg I think I'm sorry I reported the bug <grin>.  If it 
has to stay a dialog is there a preference to turn it off?
Comment 4 Andre Weinand CLA 2002-05-17 07:52:08 EDT 
not for 2.0
Comment 5 Dean Roberts CLA 2002-05-17 08:08:05 EDT 
Then I actually suggest that this be removed.  I think it will be a real 
headache and generate a lot of work flow problems being interupted with a 
dialog all the time.
Comment 6 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:25:24 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
