[GRASS-dev] GRASS6.4.3RC2 issues

[Helena Mitasova]

We are running GRASS6.4.3RC2 on Windows and Mac (50+ students on their own computers)
and so far we had few small issues with wxGUI which are causing some confusion.
Please let me know for which it would be useful to file a bug report.

- in wxnviz for draped vector lines after I change the line width e.g. to 0,
the displayed line goes back to wider line each time something else is drawn
(e.g. fringe or view is changed) but the number is still set to 0.
It shows in this video capture (go past minute 1:00, we set line width to 0,
it is drawn as thin line but when we start working with points it goes back to default width).

I am wondering whether this is a bug or I am missing something

- in 2D display legend is now much better than ever before, but
when the d.legend command is run from command line
it appears that the legend parameters are not carried over to the GUI
and need to be entered in GUI again - is this the desired behavior?
For example in the sequence
# Convert from vector to raster
in this assignment
http://courses.ncsu.edu/mea582/common/GIS_anal_grass/GIS_Anal_grdataS2.html
this command does not work properly from the command line
d.legend streets_speed_30m at=5,30,2,5 use=25,35,45,55,65
Also, if there is a legend already present, "Add legend" opens the legend GUI
behind the map display window (where it is of course hard to find)
I think this issue has already been discussed before
BTW, the legend now runs on Mac in 3d wxnviz well.

- g.remove run from command console thinks I am in PERMANENT rather than the current mapset

g.remove rast=elev_lidrural1mr_1m
Removing raster <elev_lidrural1mr_1m>
WARNING: Raster map <elev_lidrural1mr_1m> not found
WARNING: <elev_lidrural1mr_1m> nothing removed

from linux shell it works
GRASS 6.4.3RC2 (nc_spm_08):~ > g.remove rast=elev_lidruralmr_1m
Removing raster <elev_lidruralmr_1m>

- r3.in.ascii needs a fix for handling of input parameters, see bug report

Finally, among the first questions I get about GRASS is how to add legend for vector data layer -
is there any? If not, perhaps that is something for GSoC along with numerous
other cartography related capabilities (e.g. expand the symbology)
to add to either display or cartographic composer.

thank you for any response, fixes, assistance, hopefully we will get GRASS6.4.3RC2 well tested
