To be completed by the pull request creator

This section should be completed with reference to section Preparing PR of the Code and PR reviews wiki page.

  • Create the pull request as a draft by tapping the dropdown arrow on the 'Create pull request' button under the pull request description (below the text box where this description is being edited) and changing the default Create pull request to Draft pull request.
    Or, if the pull request has already been created, convert it to draft by tapping the "Convert to draft" link beneath the "Reviewers" section.

  • A self-review of all changes has been completed, and the changes are in sync with the issue requirements.

  • Changes to the requirements have been reflected in the issue description.

  • Any "leftovers" such as sysouts, printing of stack traces, and any other "temporary" code, have been removed.

  • Minor refactorings, such as renamings, extraction of constants, etc., have been addressed.

  • Developer documentation (e.g., comments, Javadoc), have been provided where required.

  • All existing and new Java tests pass successfully by running them with Maven.

  • All existing and new Web tests pass successfully.

  • Changes have been inspected for possible NPE situations, and the changes are sufficiently defensive.

  • The correct base branch has been selected for these changes to be merged into.

  • The latest changes from the base branch have already been merged into this feature branch (and tested).

  • Added a change overview to the issue description or as a wiki page, referenced in the issue description.
    Some issues might be very descriptive and serve in place of a wiki page.
    In such cases consider adding label Wiki like to the issue.

  • Changes subject to performance considerations have been evaluated, and tested against production-size data if applicable.

  • This pull request does not contain significant changes, and at least one appropriate reviewer has been selected.

  • The In progress label has been removed from the issue.

  • The Pull request label has been added to the issue.

  • The pull request has been made ready for review by tapping the "Ready for review" button below the list of commits on the pull request page.

To be completed by the pull request reviewer

This section should be completed with reference to section Performing PR review of the Code and PR reviews wiki page.

  • The In progress label has been added to the pull request in GitHub.

  • The issue requirements have been read and understood (along with any relevant emails and/or Slack messages).

  • The correct base branch is specified, and that base branch is up-to-date in the local source.

  • The issue branch has been checked out locally, and had the base branch merged into it.

  • All automated tests pass successfully.

  • Ensure the implementation satisfies the functional requirements.

  • Ensure that code changes are secure and align with the established coding practices, including code formatting and naming conventions.

  • Ensure that code changes are documented and covered with automated tests as applicable.

  • Ensure that code changes are well-suited for informal reasoning.

  • Ensure that changes are documented for the end-user (a software engineer in the case of TG, or an application user in the case of TG-based applications).

  • If there are significant changes (described above), special attention has been paid to them.
    Marked the task items in section "Significant changes" as completed to indicate that corresponding changes have been reviewed, improved if necessary, and approved.

  • The issue or issues addressed by the pull request are associated with the relevant release milestone.

To be completed by the pull request reviewer once the changes have been reviewed and accepted

  • The changes have been merged into the base branch (unless there is a specific request not to do so, e.g., they are to be released to SIT).

  • The issue branch has been deleted (unless the changes have not been merged - see above, or there is a specific request not to do so).

  • The In progress label has been removed from the pull request.

  • The Pull request label has been removed from the issue.

It seems fully workable. But requires rigorous testing.
We should not only activate alternative view on RUN if it was not activated yet, but re-activate it on all subsequent RUN actions.

This commit significantly simplifies implementation.

 * No reliance on 'offsetParent' checking, which is a bit fragile.
 * Full reliance on 'preferredView' state, which can be 1 (for EGI) and 2, 3 and so on (for alternative views). We can rely on it because this state is always initialised as early as possible on client application.
…ransitions.

Transitions to EGI / alt view from other EGI / alt view should not activate any other insertion points. Transition to EGI should always do nothing (besides saving new preferredView state to persistent storage). Transition to alt view should always activate it (and save preferredView state to persistent storage).

…native views.

All subsequent blocking is handled by separate lock layer, which is of 0.5 opacity. Insertion points / alternative views are locked when parent centre runs / refreshes.
