Few glitches in the Linux version

[mm47]

I downloaded the last linux debian package from the blog and was able to install and run without major issues. I use Linux Mint 19.3.

However, there were some minor issues.

1. The first window that shows up to choose the language is very small and cut the text, it's impossible to resize. Pressing Enter is enough to let us proceed.

2. Impossible to hide the Editors section.

3. I remember there was a possibility to change the assets, like adding a field for images, adding more fields, etc. Was it removed?

4. Some tooltips and dropdown menus show up far from the icon.

5. Can't provide icons for new assets.

So far I haven't tested further, but everything else seemed fine. I just would like to suggest the possibility of saving the changes (in text) with Ctrl + S instead of clicking the V icon on the corner. And, maybe, some warning that the project was saved.

I'm very excited with this Linux port! Cheers! (:

Thanks for the feedback, and the pictures, they really help :)

Items 1, 2 and 5 will be fixed in the next update.

Item 3, just right click anywhere in the panel when viewing an Asset to add a new field. Assets got a major overhaul in v3 and are a lot more flexible now. Part of that flexibility is adding fields and positioning them. There is no longer a "fixed" list of fields so I had to remove the option from the menu in the asset in the sidebar. When adding a new field you add it at a position, this means that you can manipulate the field layout in the asset itself rather than in a separate window.

Item 4, this seems to be a bug with either JavaFX and/or GTK. I suspect it's JavaFX because I can reproduce the behaviour in Windows. It happens when the bottom of the QW window is too close to the bottom of the display. I've no idea why, I don't control the positioning of the menus and tooltips. If I can't find a solution I'll have to implement my own fix but that could wind up being a lot of work so I'll leave it as is for now.

For saving the text, you can press Ctrl+S and it will save. On the tab for the chapter there is a * that appears when the text needs saving and disappears when you've saved. I'll think about the notification of it being saved, I don't like having those because they can be distracting and even more distracting when auto-saving. I could add an option for it. Let me give it some more thought.
