I recently posted a few patches:

http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12419 (patch to TDBGrid) and http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12347 (patch to TCustomGrid)

but I am not sure I entered correct projects/categories for them.

Possible combinations include [Packages] Patch, [Lazarus] LCL, [Lazarus] Patch, [Patches] LCL and even [Patches] patch.

So, three questions:
1) What project/category should I choose?
2) How to move already submitted issue to another project/category?
3) Can issue reporting page be modified to display current project more prominently?
It is IMO too easy to report to a wrong one.

[Patch] LCL for both.

2) How to move already submitted issue to another project/category?

That is done by a developer/admin.

3) Can issue reporting page be modified to display current project more prominently? It is IMO too easy to report to a wrong one.

It doesn't really matter where you report it, they usually get moved to the right place, once aknowlegded. Maybe you can make a bug report to MantisBt.org for the reporting page.

Lately the influx of reports (>60 last week) has been to high to acknowledge each issue. Maybe one of the other developer wants to look at them. To be honest, seeing too much reports to handle always frustrates me.

I see. Is there anything I can do to help at least with those submitted by me?

http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12347 is already assigned to Jesus Reyes, so it is in his todolist and he'll know best if he needs extra information.

I just assigned http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12419 yo him too, since he is the maintainer of the grid components.

For normal bug reports, not extension like these, it is very useful to have an example program that exposes the bug and which can be used to test if the patch fixes it.

I suppose Jesus would test your patch, and then a sample program might be useful too. That might help, but I don't know how Jesus is going to handle your patches.

Ok, I posted a demo to the tracker.

Thanks, currently the glyph it's fixed at the right, can you improve it by adding a ImageLayout property? with this property glyph's position would be more flexible. The goal is to make it behave like a TBitBtn where you can select glyph position left, top, right or bottom, even TButtonLayout could be used for ImageLayout property.

It should behave like for the current right position, the space left after positioning the glyph it's used for text layout and alignment.

Yes, I thought about it myself.

Few notes, however:
1) If possible, I would prefer to apply current version of patch and base further work on top of that.
IMHO both my work and review process would be simpler that way. I have other features planned, but I like to do work in small steps.

2) I am not sure about top and bottom positions -- are they useful? I think more logical choice is either TTextLayot or TAlignment, but they pose additional problem -- how to show column caption in the case of centered image?

One more question: should ImageLayout be a property of grid or column title? First way is more consistent and easier to use, but the second one is more flexible.
What is your preference?
