Package: gtranslator
Version: 1.9.9-1
Severity: wishlist

I thank upstream and maintainer for their change to support display og
po file respecting po file content order (with capability to reorder).

But there are some points where I see you can make some improvements.

1. While waiting for the list display to be updated, 
   * please change mouse icon to the shape indicating situation.
   * please display message at the bottom indicating what is happening.

2. Allow msgid/msgstr contents to be highlighted and selected according
   to normal X/Gnome method, so we can cut/copy-and-paste.
   I mean support both:
     * left-click-and-move -> middle-click and
     * shift-left-click-and-drag ctrl-C/X and ctrl-V.

3. Buttons (configurable) which can allow next/prev-fuzzy/untranslated.

Request 2 is very important since the word order differes among
langages.  It is one of the most frequenly used operation in poedit, I
use.  I think gtranslator should be great platform if these issues are
solved.
