[Qgis-developer] Questions about Dialog for Select by Expression

[Nathan Woodrow]

Hey Lene and Junior,

> The height of the expression frame should indeed have a minimum value, to
avoid closing it. But this is not a new behaviour. In QGIS 2.4, you could
already close totally this frame if you drag down enough. I think it's a
bug and you can fill a ticket unless it's an intended behaviour (and it
would be nice if the dev can explain why such choice - thanks).

This isn't a issue anymore as the dialog has been redone in 2.8.  You can
see what it looks like in this

>> Secondly – before there was a syntax coloring – now it´s all the same
color.

We have changed to use a better code editor for the text box and are using
a built-in SQL lexer for the syntax. In SQL single and double quotes at the
same thing, at least the lexer likes to think so.  I'm looking into a fix
for 2.8
