Description

Suggestions to clarify / improve IDE layout and performance.

Middle button is currently called "Output". When Project, Build is done, this window shows compiler progress messages. But when a single file is executed (not in a project), this window shows HTML presented to the browser. I imagine it's the same when a project is run. If the same window needs to be shared, I suggest the button label change depending on the usage: "Compiler messages" if a Build is being done. "HTML output" if a single file is being executed or project is run.

Right button is currently called "HTML". Both of these manual pages indicate what this label should be: "Web page". This button does not show HTML, the middle button does!

An even better idea for this right button / window:

Manual page 6.3.7 says the program's web page is displayed by "an integrated Internet Explorer". It may be integrated but it's busted.

Of what value is a static browser?

How am I to test an app that has several pages with forms, session information, images in other folders, etc., if this program doesn't FULLY emulate a browser?

Replace this small "Web page" window with a full size browser page, so I can see what the app is supposed to look and act like.
