Description John Wiegand CLA 2003-05-08 11:00:01 EDT
1. When using working sets, the tasklist can be empty, although there are 
problems in "related" projects.  If I assume that the empty (filtered) tasklist 
means that I have addressed all of the problems, I can release code that breaks 
other components in the workspace.  The filtering notification is subtle (shows 
NNN out of MMM, but doesn't draw "graphical" attention to the fact that 
something may be amiss).
2. When the tasklist is not visible (because it is behind the console, for 
example), then I cannot tell that tasks have been added to it.  

The following mechanism may address this issue: the tasklist tab graphically 
shows that the tasklist (a) has contents and (b) has changed contents

(This is related to bug 37032)

With the new problem filtering and limit features, do we still know how many
errors/warnings/infos are outside of the filtered set? In other words, does the
processing still continue in background, or do we not even gather stats on the
excluded projects/resources? I'm curious about just what indications can be
given for problems outside the selected scope. Thanks.
