Scite 2.03 is immovable on the desktop!

After trying out drpython, I installed scite and run it. But bad luck struck under Ubuntu. The editor screen cannot be moved! It was immobile on the left side of the screen and I cannot strangely zoom it. So another editor bit the dust in our Ubuntu natty narwhal OS powered desktop!

Note: Feb. 19, 2012. I looked at scite and since I have upgraded to Ubuntu oneiric ocelot OS version, Scite is working properly.

latexila, an Integrated Gnome Latex editor

Latexila, is currently at version 2.06 in my new Ubuntu 11.04 Linux desktop at my ACER 4520 laptop computer.

I can only two things and I am surprised both Latexila and Texmaker suffers from the same major problems, namely Windows cannot be resized, and Windows cannot be moved. Here is a snapshot of Latexila in my ACER:




June 20, 2011. This just in! I discovered that Ubuntu 11.04 windows do not contain Windows minimize and maximize buttons or controls. Press F7 while mouse is on the window and move the windows to the desired location. Press Al-F8 to to resize the windows. This is unnerving for new users of 11.04 Ubuntu.

October 30, 2011. The spate of package updates after updating Ubuntu to the latest and greatest version oneiric ocelot has fixed the above issues!

Texmaker, current version not functioning well

I encourage developers to produce more softwares and we will focus on describing how well they are designed and testing them for ease of use.

I have installed texmaker and it is a far cry from the old versions. It sports a new version of
the graphical interface and is more integrated with other latex utilities like Kile. However, I am shocked that

windows cannot be resized! windows cannot be moved!

These are negatives for the current version (2.2.1) of this Latex editor.
