1. Set up an election with counties assigned to a contest.
2. Click 'Clear Votes' 

What form was open at the time?  (Election, candidate, etc)

Election, Contest, Candidate, or (Contest) County

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It is expected that the request will not error and clear any votes for the
election. Instead of this, there is an error stating:

'NHibernate.LazyInitializationException' occurred in NHibernate.dll

Additional information: Failed to lazily initialize a collection - no session

This error only arises if there are counties assigned to the contests.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

User should be able to print currently displayed page only, a range or

Any form that has "<<" and ">>" "Move all" buttons needs to be edited. Mary
Jo indicated that she has never used the "Move All to the left" ("<<")
button except by accident, then having to spend more time going back and
redoing all the selections again.

Move the buttons somewhere else on the form - or delete them - or maybe
require confirmation.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click File
2. Click Exit
3. Not have exited

What form was open at the time?  (Election, candidate, etc)
Main program.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Program should exit, instead it doesn't. Program should make sure that all
filehandles are closed nicely and not left up to the OS.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a candidate or county to a contest
2. then add all candidates or counties to a contest
3. the singly added county or contest is added twice

What form was open at the time?  (Election, candidate, etc)
Election Form - county and candidate tabs

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
candidates and counties can only be added once.  Instead duplicates are
added in.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add an object to any portion of an election, such as a contest to the
election or a candidate to a contest.
2. Save the election.

What form was open at the time?  (Election, candidate, etc)

Election

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

After a save, the last used object should be selected with its
corresponding details displayed. Instead the object is not selected, but
its details are displayed. The system still has the last object referenced
for additions to the object, so while the object is not selected, changes
to it can be made and the election can be saved. A selection can be made
and this will change the object being used however, so it seems to simply
be a graphical issue.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an election
2. Enter vote results for election
3. Attempt to delte election

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I have put in some vote results and wanted to see the Vote Summary but an 
error message occurs for 11/7/06.  However I eliminated all the contests 
in 4/1/08 and was going to eliminate that contest because that's where 
some candidates had results.   There are no contests showing for 4/1/08 
however the vote summary sheet still shows the contests I eliminated.

Several types of error messages

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set up an election with contest counties and enter vote results.
2. Attempt to delete the election, a contest containing a county with vote
results, or a candidate with vote results.

What form was open at the time?  (Election, candidate, etc)

Election, contest, or candidate.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output is to complete the delete and delete all corresponding
election/contest/vote results data. Instead there is an NHibernate error.
When deleting a candidate with vote results, the candidate will appear to
be deleted until the form is reopened or the application is restarted. This
allows for duplicate candidates to be entered (and saved) after the initial
"deletion" and error.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select 'Enter Vote Results'
2. Select a county
3. Tab through the fields
4. When you get to the bottom, the last tab should highlight the 'save' 
button rather than returning to the top of the election selection dropbox.

Election Candidates Quick Scan Sheet

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
Mort Sipress, former UWEC political science professor, was helping Mary Jo
during primary on 9/9/08.  He expressed that it would be nice to have raw
vote counts on the Election Quick Scan sheet if the horizontal space on the
page could be rearranged/compressed so that the report could still be
printed in portrait orientation.  The raw vote numbers are available on the
Contest Vote Summary sheet, but still may helpful here so that the
reporters can see the scope of votes covered by the percentages (e.g. 75%
to 25% could be 3 to 1 or 3000 to 1000).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open election form that has an election in it
2. Select a date in the go to drop down 
3.

What form was open at the time?  (Election, candidate, etc)
Election 
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Open the correct election
Error:
Encountered 'NHibernate.LazyInitializationException' exception in the
cboGoTo_SelectedIndexChanged method.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

work around right now is to select the election you want from the Election
Tracker form and open it that way.

Mary Jo indicated it would be nice to be able to double click (for example,
when choosing candidates or counties instead of clicking on the item and
clicking the arrow button, just double click it and the assumed action is
to move it over).

When there are places in the app where there could be more than 1 assumed
action, bring up a menu when right clicked on with quick select actions. 

The counties associated with a contest only change every 10 years, but the
elections happen more frequently, so it would be nice to have the counties
associated with the contest so when a contest is added to an election the
correct counties are automatically added.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Display/print Vote County Tally Sheets
2. Display Enter Votes form (Insert/Vote Results) for one of the counties
in the election
3. Candidate lines and Ward count lines are in opposite positions (ward
count is first in Enter Votes, end on Vote County Tally Sheet report

What form was open at the time?  (Election, candidate, etc)
Vote County Tally Sheet report, Enter Votes form

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I believe the agreement between Dale, Donna Raleigh (vote entry person) and
me on the primary night (9/9/08) was that ward count should be first in
both places, so Vote County Tally Sheet report order should be changed. 
This requirement should be verified with Mary Jo Wagner.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
Mary Jo indicated during testing in early September that it would be nice
to have a "clear contest" or "clear election" button, so that an election
could be set up, test votes entered and test reports made/printed, and then
all vote totals would be cleared back out before the actual election
occurred.  Such an operation is not without potential problems - would not
want to accidentally do this, and user confirmation should be necessary. 
Actual level of clearing (all contests in election, one contest at time)
should be agreed on with Mary Jo

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the enter votes screen
2. Enter votes for some candidates
3. Open the vote results reports and notice that the vote values are
incorrect in some cases.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The results of entering votes is accurately reflected on the various vote
result reports.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a contest with at least three candidates, where one of the
candidates has a long name (e.g. "Write in - Don Moga, Candidate - R" in
9/9/08 primary
2. Enter votes for one or more counties for this contest
3. Pull up Contest Vote Summary report and display - part of above name
line was cut off, as didn't fit in calculated field width

What form was open at the time?  (Election, candidate, etc)
Contest Vote Summary report

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see whole name on line on report, but end characters are cut off
if name is longer than calculated column width.  Dale modified source to
put several spaces between names (at first, the cut off name was jammed
right up against the next name), but not sure if this change was committed
back to SVN repository.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
In the Contest Vote Summary report, a column width is calculated for each
candidate based on how many there are (up to a maximum of three per row). 
However, even limiting a row to three candidates, long names overflow this
column width and are currently cut off.  

I see several options here:
1) allowing the cutoff to remain, and encouraging the WPR users to keep the
names shorter so that three is a reasonable candidate limit per row.  For
example, the word "candidate" is redundant in the example above, and
removal of this word would shorten the name considerably.
2) dynamically calculating the column width based on information such as
the candidate name, and displaying the whole name (perhaps still up to some
reasonable limit such as the width of the entire candidate area in the report).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start application 
2. Error message is displayed
3. Log file indicates NHibernate.LazyInitializationException: Could not
initialize proxy - the owning Session was closed.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No error message

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

A new Options page would be the best place to manage data that changes
infrequently or has no other logical interface.

For example, attribute types for Counties, Political Parties, etc

This would also be a good place to store user preferences.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the "Contest Vote Summary" Reports
2. Select an election 
3. Find a page with multiple 0% counties.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Format of zero percent counties should be 0.0%

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
Some percentages have incorrect format of 00.0%

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. adding counties to contests and saving
2. sometimes it works and not sure why sometimes it doesn't
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Error message that requires closing the file - then it works again for a 
couple of saves before error message returns

Yesterday's log file just appeared 4/2 but I don't see today's 4/3.  I 
closed the program and have opened it and put in information a couple of 
times but still don't see a new log file for today.
