Sometimes it is just a matter of taste, which is a bug

1) Example one - function editIcon

B. Kraft said that the patch proposal for function editIcon was 
incorrect and I didn't understand the function how it relates with
multilangual sites. The purpose is that the title text relates with 
language of the page.

Correct. I didn't understood - it has confusing issues for me. On the 
other hand I'm right because that function cause confusion.

What is a bug is at some level matter of taste - also in this case.
I solved this in 'tm_contentaccess' with an option - administrator can
decide, if the title follows the language to the page (default) or the
language of the BE interface (like edit panel) does. No nobody can't say
that the behavior is buggy. I didn't even made about this issue a bug 
report even if I could have done so.

B. Kraft doesn't admit that the default behavior is buggy and I don't 
regard the default behavior bugfree. That I mean that what is a bug, is 
a matter of taste.

2) Option mod.web_layout.menu.function

mod.web_layout.menu.function {
0=0
2=0
3=0
}

doesn't work - certainly in purpose but I regard it as a bug. I didn't 
figure how mod.web_layout.menu.function.0=0 has been disabled but
I added just disableQuickEdit, when disableQuickEdit=1 disables it.
It would be nice it the definition above would however work.
Somebody in Typo3 org has decided that Quick Edit can't be disabled - 
but I don't regard that decision correct. But because this is presumably 
intended behavior, it it not an actual bug.


mod.web_layout.menu.function
