Amaya 8.7 Windows XP bug: Image map errors

Hi,

Amaya 8.7 for Windows XP has a lot of bugs related to image maps.

1. "XHTML > Map area > Insert an area" creates invalid mark-up (checked
using W3C validator). The <map></map> tags are created without id attribute
and outside a block-level element.

2. When there is no map created and the first area is created, the alternate
text attribute of the area is not saved (a window is shown to introduce the
alt value, but this value is lost).

3. When a map area is already created and the user creates a second (or
third or ...) area, two windows are shown (the title of the first window is
"Attributes / alt", the title of the second one is "Alternate text"). The
first one does not force to write a text, the second one do forces to write
a text, but the value stored in the alt attribute of the area is the text
written in the first window. The text written in the second window is lost.

4. A polygon area seems to be moved or modified using Ctrl+left or right
buttons, but after saving the document, the area has the same position,
shape and size as when it was created.

5. When a non-English character (like a voyel with an accent) is written in
the alt attribute of an area, the character is tranformed into an character
entity (for instance, é is transformed into &#x8a2c;). If the user selects
the area and he opens the Attributes > alt window, the character entity is
not shown and it is deleted when the window is closed. By the way, according
to the W3C validator both é or &#x8a2c; are valid, but &#x8a2c; is not shown
by Mozilla or Internet Explorer.

6. When two areas overlap, the common area links in Amaya to the target of
the last created area, but in Internet Explorer and Mozilla, it links to the
target of the first. Of course, I do not think it is a bug (I do not know if
W3C recommendation states the expected behaviour), but it would better if
the behaviour of the three programs is the same.

Best regards,
Barto
