[OLPC-AU] [Testing] Testing summary, Auckland - 17 March 2012

Mon Mar 19 23:34:55 EDT 2012

Hi all

Can you explain in a brief about the below mentioned issue.What actually "
n Editor" means?

n Editor: When I mouseover the scissors, the drop down covers the first  3
lines of text - makes it difficult if one is trying to work
on those particular lines. Otherwise seems to be working ok.

Regards
Deepak
