So the Text component's state was:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextEditorView xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/Views">
<Height xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View">630</Height>
<ID xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View">4d54e3b1-b8b0-4ed0-8ccc-78a589bcb9dd</ID>
<Moveable xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View">true</Moveable>
<Opacity xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View">1</Opacity>
<OptionsSource i:nil="true" xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View" />
<Position xmlns:d2p1="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Windows" xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View">
<d2p1:X>797</d2p1:X>
<d2p1:Y>0</d2p1:Y>
</Position>
<Resizable xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View">true</Resizable>
<Title xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View">Text</Title>
<WarnOnClosing xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View">true</WarnOnClosing>
<Width xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View">456.11572265625</Width>
<Zoom xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View">1.2145748987854248</Zoom>
<Zoomable xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View">true</Zoomable>
<Editable>true</Editable>
<RTL>false</RTL>
<Source i:nil="true" />
<ToolbarVisible>true</ToolbarVisible>
<Time>PT1M37.588S</Time>
</TextEditorView>

and I changed Y from 0 to 100 above. It is interesting that it wasn't some negative number, but 0 which should be showing in the screen (have to check this out and maybe set a higher limit instead of 0 for the top-left bound). Attaching the fixed activity file

I also noticed that I have a type there, saying Views instead of View at the data contract of the Text component state, resulting in seeing all those xmlns="http://clipflair.net/Contracts/View" in its child entries. Will try to fix it and see if it breaks loading of saved state of Text components in already created activities (which would be bad)

I fixed the TextEditor component's view data contract so that it's .options.xml file is now more human readable. In case this causes any trouble with loading activities (either older saved ones or newly saved ones) that contain the Text component let me know. I have added a Details dropdown at the error dialog now where you can use CTRL+A to select all error detail text and CTRL+C to copy the error text to send to me.

It seems the issue with components' titlebar getting out of the container area is the per-component zoom. Components keep their position in the original coordinate system of their container, so when zoomed (they get zoomed arround their center point) in they may get their bounds outside of the scrollable area.

- So I have to put some constraint at the zooming function to limit the zoom up to the point they fit in the container,

- also could allow one to drag the component from any of its points (as long as its content doesn't use the mouse drag at that point). In the text area that would mean you'd be able to drag it from its toolbar which is still visible a bit in most such cases (can't drag in the text itself since the select text action would grab the mouse event and mark it as handled) to move the component into a place where it's more visible.

- another feature that could help could be a hotkey to turn the component over and edit its settings (then you could change the zoom property's value for the component or its position property)

George,

I am sending you the two activities I need to pilot tomorrow morning (!). I
filled in the corresponding forms last week and I have sent the activities to you twice,
but I cannot find them in the Gallery. Is there anything I should do before you
upload them? If so, please let me know.

The problem is that I am going to pilot the activities in someone else's
classes, and tomorrow is the only day I can do that.

The activities are called:
Turma da Mônica_Apresentação
Rotina diária

Thanks in advance,

Anabel

Hi, George,

The activities I sent you yesterday to be uploaded in the gallery are still marked as spam. I send them again just in case.
