Description Maciej Mrozowski 2017-12-11 18:34:18 UTC
Created attachment 109320 [details]
targets not sorted

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open some project with supported project target discovery (in ex any CMake project).
2. Run -> Configure Launches -> Add (any variant, the point is just to get to project target selection).
3. Expand 'Project target' drop-down list.

'Project target' drop down list is not sorted in any useful way.
With a few items, it can work, but with more than 100+ targets, unsorted drop down list is practically useless.
Other way would be to have some UI element that allows quick search.

There is also related problem with not perfectly handling quick expanded menu with project targets - they do not fit the screen if there are too many of them:

1. Open some project with supported project target discovery (in ex any CMake project) that has a lot of targets (over 400 system component tests in my case).
2. Run -> Configure Launches -> Add -> (select sub-menu with directory, where targets are defined)

Actually I'll change this as FIXED because I can confirm issue does not exist in the latest kdevelop 5.10.221200 (22.12.0)
Other issue with showing test targets when there are too many to fix the screen is also fixed. Now there is scroll list that while fits screen vertically with as many entries as possible, ca
