The curators had added a round of findings to their report document that nothing here had answered — marked in purple for "resurfaced or still an issue on recheck". Read via ~/curator-docs.sh --peek; the document is theirs and is untouched.

Four real findings, now issues rather than lines in a Google Doc

#296 the hit reaction count is one off, moving FDR and the entity ratios
#297 hovering a subpathway in the hierarchy does not highlight it on an EHLD, which the live site does
#298 H₂O and H⁺ disappear when zooming out — contradicting an "OK" on that row
#299 PPTX entities move, but an icon's border and centre are separate shapes, as is each line segment

#296 is the serious one. Everything else in the round is something being hard to see; that one is a number being wrong, and it propagates into two more numbers.

#298 is worth noting for how it was nearly lost. The row was marked OK and the contradiction was in a comment.

Right-click is not broken

Two reported no menu, one adding "I use the touch pad though" — and that is the answer. Driven on beta: a right-click on an entity opens a 354×213 panel over the diagram carrying the entity's name and its three entries. A trackpad sends no right-click at all unless secondary click is enabled. The report tells them how to turn it on, and asks them to come back if Ctrl-click also does nothing, because then it is ours.

#154 corrected rather than closed

#171 made the table readable. The actual request — which components of a complex are hit, shown on the diagram — is still outstanding. They found a workaround themselves, which is not the same as it being fixed.

Also answered

The four questions they left as comments, including two where the honest answer is that the panel is unclear and that is our bug, not something to explain away.

They had added a round of findings to the report document that nothing here
had answered, marked in purple for "resurfaced or still an issue on recheck".
Read via the snapshot script; the document itself is theirs and untouched.

Answered in CURATOR-REPORT.md, and the four that are real are now issues
rather than lines in a Google Doc:

- #296 the hit reaction count is one off, moving FDR and the entity ratios.
  The most serious of the round: everything else is something being hard to
  see, this is a number being wrong, and it propagates into two more.
- #297 hovering a subpathway in the hierarchy does not highlight it on an EHLD,
  which the live site does.
- #298 H2O and H+ disappear when zooming out, contradicting an OK on that row.
  The contradiction was in a comment, which is where such things get lost.
- #299 PPTX entities move but an icon's border and centre are separate shapes,
  as is each reaction line segment. Grouping, not fewer shapes.

And #154 is corrected rather than closed: #171 made the *table* readable, and
the request -- which components of a complex are hit, shown on the diagram --
is still outstanding. They found the workaround themselves, which is not the
same as it being fixed.

**Right-click is not broken.** Two reported no menu, one adding "I use the
touch pad though", and that is it: driven on beta, a right-click on an entity
opens a 354x213 panel over the diagram with the entity's name and its three
entries. A trackpad sends no right-click at all unless secondary click is
enabled, so the report is about input rather than about the diagram. The answer
says how to turn it on, and asks them to come back if Ctrl-click also does
nothing, because then it is ours.

Also answered: the four questions they left as comments, including two we
cannot answer with an explanation because the honest answer is that the panel
is unclear and that is our bug.

Found reviewing this before merging it, which is the point of doing that
separately: the answer was confidently wrong about three of the five formats.

I had written that a failed download produces an error and no file, so a file
that arrives was produced. That is true of **GIF and PPTX** -- the two they
asked about -- because those come from the render service, which builds the
whole file before it answers, and `FileDownloadService` saves nothing unless
the whole of it arrived and the server said it was good.

It is not true of **SBML, SBGN and PDF**. Those come from the Java exporters,
which stream while they generate, so a failure partway produces a truncated
file that looks complete and carries no length to check against.
`file-download.service.ts` says exactly this at the top, and I wrote the answer
without reading it.

The half I got wrong is the worse half to get wrong: a curator told "a file
that arrives was produced" would stop opening the ones that can lie. Corrected,
and the earlier claim is named rather than quietly replaced, because they may
already have read it.
