Hi,

Thanks for a great tool!  I have a few comments on some usability
issues, however.  First of all, I would like to be able to change the
start date of a task by moving the task bar using mouse (in gant chart
view).  This is the way how it works on MS version and I think that is
intuitively good.

Secondly Gant chart view should show all the task columns (other than
name and work too).  I think there is no reason for excluding start
and finish dates etc. from the view.  I would also rename 'work'
column by 'duration' since it is more clear, in my opinion.

Then inserting new tasks should be easier. When I launghed the program
the first time it took a while to figure out how to start working with
MrProject. If clicking an empty row would insert a new task
automatically it would be, again, more intuitive.

Are you going to support formats soon: bold, underline, italic...?

Regards,
Jukka-Pekka
