Groupmanager:
-items are sorted in the wrong order
-sometimes selection problems
-about module dialog problems:
 -wrong size if the text is small
 -text problems like "Datenpfad0", maybe because of translation
-navigation with keyboard only is only partly possible (e.g. when pressing 
return, a displayer should be opened)

Toolbar:
-hide toolbar icon may be confusing, because you press it and the toolbar 
disappears, and users may not know how to bring it up again. This icon can be 
removed IMO; the View->Toolbar in the menue is sufficient
-the close button looks ugly

Configuration dialog:
-duplicate key shortcuts (ctrl+s)
-is the backgound color used?
-is the standard text color used(in bibles)?
-is the verse number/url color used?
-there should be colors for footnotes and strongs also

Displayers:
-sometimes taborder problems in the bible-keychoosers
-let the module choosing icons show only one book, the module adding icons 
one book with a plus sign -- at the moment the icons are too small-painted 
and too complicated
-let the presenter captions show the module names, the key is visible in the 
keychooser, or like this "Module Name(s): Key"
-when looking up words, check for open presenters containing the desired 
module, if yes, jump there
-if possible, enable text drags (if it's not too complicated)
-make the headings of parallel displayed modules and single displayed modules 
more similar

Search dialog:
-module chooser:
 -module choosing page should not be activated at the showing of the dialog; 
at least not when opened by the GM.
 -maybe refine the layout of the module choosing page a little
 -when transferring a module, the tree is rebuilt and all groups are closed - 
not necessary. just remove the transferred module
-text page:
 -redo tab order
 -the input field should always get the focus when opening the dialog; at 
least when showing the text page
-result page:
 -locale problems - though I set BT to german, items will still show up in 
english(sometimes, esp. when starting the searchdialog for the 1st time)
 -resize the preview window, it's too small - should get 1/3 of the minimum 
size of the dialog
 -deactivate index use - produces uncorrect results!!!!!!!!!!1
-analysis page
 -will not render correctly (sometimes, because of the locale problems see 
above)
 -the tooltips are cool

so much for now... ;)
I think BT 1.0 will be really cool.
PLEASE ALSO TEST & FIND BUGS... !!!
