Re: Planner-list Task view

I agree with Doug about the bold font: it  would be better if the same level
of indentation would be either always in bold or always in normal font.
Changing the font strength depending on whether tasks have subtasks is a
little bit disturbing.

I have also another, quite annoying, usability issue. In the Gantt view, the
bars in the graphic panel are a little shifted up as compared to the text in
the left panel. This is really a problem when starting to have a lot of
tasks.

And, again, I also think planner is a great tool and would like to thank you
for developing it.

Last but nor least, have a Happy New Year!
