Hello experts!

May I come up with a question?

I have put some layout changes into
https://code.launchpad.net/~openerp-commiter/openobject-
addons/chricar_trunk_layout 

currently stock_view.xml has massive conflicts which will take some hours to 
solve again. 

The proposal for merging is out since weeks - (which of course does not work 
now any more)
 
If nobody is interested in getting unified layout of forms I will stop 
spending my time on keeping this branch compatible with trunk. 

Nevertheless I think unified layout (same field same position, same structure 
) of various similar forms (SO,PO, picking, invoice and also others) is a key 
success factor 
* for professional layout and 
* for efficient and short training sessions as well as 
* for fast and efficient working especially for SME, because the same people 
have to do sales and purchases, accounting and are completely confused having 
positioned the same field in various positions, sometimes with slightly 
different names. 

And as I requested already multiple times:
* long char fields as partner, address MUST NOT be 2 of 6 column wide. 
* all picking forms must show partner AND address , the way it's done now by 
concatenating partner and address and putting it into a 2 of 6 column field is 
really UNUSABLE here given the long names we have in German. Often it cuts off 
already important parts of the partner name - address invisible (in GTK, Koo - 
works only in WEB with word wrap) (Screen 1366x768 and a compact theme)

Partner names here often look like 
* very long name GmbH
* very long name GmbH & Co KG

we must make sure that users SEE what is going to be committed.

end of rant of today ;-)
