[taste-users] GUI (IV/DV) Question

[Wolfram Eifler <adagio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi everybody, 

after installing the taste-vm (vmware-player on debian-7.5/Wheezy) and
running Update-taste.sh i try to
follow .../tool-src/doc/tutorial/tutorial-taste. 

 - tastegui comes up
 - edit data view and save - ok
 - edit interface view: gui comes up, but...

a1) when i click "new-container" in the toolbar the gui tells me
"Creation Status: cursor outside the diagram" via the statusbar at the
bottom of the window. 

a2) menu-bar/New/New Container -> same as a1

a3) ripped of the new-menu from menu-bar and put it over the drawing to
have coordinates within the drwawing (ugly trick ;). Statusbar turns to
"Mode: addRectangleMode". If i draw a rectangle now (left mousebutton)
the statusbar turns back to "No Selection"

b) deployment view behaves the same. 

===> What do i miss?

:) Wolfram

PS: looks like a common pitfall, is there a document about such things
for new users?
PPS: if not - should i start one at the wiki?
