Testing summary - 31 January 2009

[Walter Bender]

Great stuff. Thanks.

In regard to the Turtle Art problem, the short-term work-around is a
block found on the "flow" palette. It has a lock icon on the block. It
will lock all the blocks above it so that you can move them off screen
without worrying about losing them. In the near term, I will try to
make the surface scroll so that you can have more room for your
layouts.

See http://sugarlabs.org/go/Image:Lock-block.png for an example.

regards.
