    When I'm typing in the target segment, the cursor stops blinking after about 5 seconds. After that it becomes solid, partially obscuring the last character, especially if it's an l, i or t. It would be really helpful if the cursor could be set to blink...

    I'm noticing that ideas get tagged as "delivered" or "partially delivered" but with no explanation, no mention of what minimum version supports it, etc. Please make it mandatory for SDL employees to fill this information.

    • 1 Comment
    When subtitling, the duration column shows the duration a subtitle is displayed in the format H:MM:SS:Milliseconds. I have yet to see a subtitle that is visible for a whole minute, let alone an hour. It would be much easier to see the relevant information...

    This could be an extra option in Translation memory settings > Language resources > Recognize group and should apply to any word excluding the first word of the segment (or that could be a suboption). It is already implemented from time immemorial in...

    It would be a good enhancement to support *mdx files in the markdown filetype: https://mdxjs.com/ The current filetype supports these files well apart from the jsx parts: https://reactjs.org/docs/introducing-jsx.html Seems like a worthwhile enhancement...

    Since you can change the termbase against which you perform your QA check it would be helpful to know which termbase was used for the speficic QA check you are reading. Similarly, the analysis report lists the TMs used for the analysis.
