| Fixed? | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| - [ ] | Reformat checkbox is not implemented, Preferences Save | Currently. still has old behavior, always reformat |
| - ✅ | #2655 | Each project can have the settings changed from .robot directory |
| - ✅ | RIDE crashes when detaching Project Explorer | On Windows, when using wxPython < 4.2.2. Use the beta version 4.2.2. |
| - ✅ | Bad mouse scrolling or arrows navigation in Grid Editor | Due to focus on main scroll bars. Fixed in v2.2dev5 |
| - [ ] | Using --rerunfailed in Test Runner, runs all the tests |
Because the way RIDE uses Argument files. Use normal shell/command/terminal run out of RIDE. |
| - [ ] | Rename Keywords, Find Usages/Find where used are not finding all occurrences | Please, double-check findings and changes. |
| - ✅ | Upgrade to Development need zip archive | The configobj.zip must be extracted to robotide/preferences (make this automatic). See F.A.Q #23. Fixed in v2.2dev5 |
| - ✅ | When creating New Project parent directories must exit | |
| - [ ] | Problems at Text Editor, An issue for all known problems will be linked here | Copy+Paste, Revert Changes after error, Undo, Tab spacing reduced... An option was added to make visible blank spaces on v2.2.3dev4 |
| - ✅ | Problematic feature Auto-save | When auto saving, the code validation may be triggered (e.g. you were typing an IF with no END yet). When saving, mouse and keyboard may be blocked, or lagged. Recommended to not use the feature since v2.2.3dev10. A timer of 10 seconds for not using the keyboard was implemented, after v2.2.5dev9 |

Research direction
Start by separating the unchecked entries in this issue, since it combines several RIDE problems and also records items already fixed. No source files, tests, or entry points are named; a contributor would need to identify the relevant subsystem and reproduce one remaining problem before defining a focused fix and its verification.
