General Function Checklist


Overview: When IGB first launches, the tabbed panels are part of the IGB main window. Using the Tabs menu, you can hide a panel, open it in a new window, or change its location in the main IGB display.

Side Tab Panels

Verify that these actions produce the expected behavior (like the images):

Move "Current Genome" to the left.

Click on any chromosome from any genome and verify that the main view goes to that chromosome.

Change "Bookmarks" to Hide by clicking hide/show icon (looks like > or <).

Select Open Current Left Tab in New Window.

Select Open Current Right Tab in New Window.

Change "Bookmarks" to Window.

Change "Bookmarks" to Right. Verify that this closes the "Bookmarks" window.

Close the two external windows using the [x] in the window. Verify that the panes are returned to the main IGB window.

Bottom Tab Panels

Verify same behaviors in the bottom tabs:

Move any tab to its own window, verify that the main view still responds to it.

Hide any tab.

Restore the hidden tab.

Open Bottom tabbed panes in new window.

Ensure the console output is correct.
