Tested. All appear resolved except (d). Current behavior on Plain
Text/Reference/Source Code dropdown menus is:
- dropdown menu changes do trigger the discard dialog, but...
- when the attached text field is blank, the dropdown menu's value is "saved"
whether the user discarded or saved
- but I think the menu value only gets saved to the dialog window. Example: I
have 2 elements, both w/ a blank Abstract. The pulldown menu for both elements'
Abstracts are set to Plain Text. I edit element 1 and change its Abstract's
dropdown from Plain to Source. Whether I discard the change or not, if I then
re-open element 1, the Abstract dropdown is still set to Source. If I view the
2nd element, its Abstract's dropdown also shows Source.
- in contrast, when the Abstract field isn't blank, the pulldown menu always
says Plain Text -- if I change it to Source and click OK, then re-open, it
still says Plain.
- ... however, even if the field says Plain Text, TeX commands are interpreted
correctly in e.g. the Reference Preview. In effect, maybe Source Code is really
always set, but the dropdown always shows Plain Text.
