0) I actually was used to what I think of as the default browser styling (I
use ff) for much of the system.

1) I don't like that the pull down boxes are zero-width until you pick
something, and then they resize, and a bunch of other stuff moves.

2) there are other things which just bug me, but I don't know what they are.

Ok. I can name a few that bug me. Let's see if that's what's bugging you too.

2a) when you enter all the data into a form (in error) and submit it, you'll be shown an error. In 1.3, you could use the back-button to get the form (and its data) back. That doesn't work anymore in 1.4; you'll get the form, but not the data.

2b) the pages "flicker" when being shown: they first show the "standard" page formatting and then "jump in to place" after having been parsed by the Dojo parser.

1.5 addresses (2a) by using a popup window to show the error; it only lets go of your entered form data after the server confirms correct receipt. You can close the popup and correct the error in 1.5 (now master). It's not fully stable yet, but I have come to appreciate it over 1.4 already.

Bye,

Erik.
