FamiTracker
Minor thing, easy to work around, but it sits in the back of my mind taunting me every time I spot it....
Okay, so when the 'preview next/previous frame' option is enabled (which it is by default), using the keyboard (arrow keys, Page Up/Down, etc.) to move around the pattern editor seamlessly transitions between the end of one frame and the start of the next. This is good, of course.
Now: Using the mouse to navigate between frames (e.g. clicking on a target row outside the current frame) should do the same. E.g. if I'm at row 3F at the end of frame 00 and I click on row 03 of the next frame (which due to the config option is plainly visible in the Pattern Editor), FamiTracker should jump there just as seamlessly as it would if I navigated there by keyboard. Currently it only jumps to the clicked row if it's within the current frame, and that can be distracting if the current frame has a short length (e.g. pickup note frames).
Take the attached file for example: With the cursor at frame 00 row 00 (note its very short length of just 4 rows), try clicking anywhere within frame 01, and nothing happens. This is magnified if you enable Free Cursor mode: due to the short length of this frame 00, 80% of the UI is occupied by frame 01 but frame 01's contents are simply unclickable.
(As a caveat, this behavior works in tandem with the preview next/previous frame options -- if you switch the frame previews off, clicking outside the currrent frame, i.e. on blank UI space, should do absolutely nothing.)
(On a quick tangent -- in the case of pickup frames, I notice that FamiTracker only previews one next frame. Maybe, if it hasn't filled up the UI space it could continue previewing next frames after that?)
