crm layout definition problem

[Ferdinand]

"addons/crm/crm_view.xml"
                    <notebook colspan="4">
                        <page string="General">
                            <group col="8" colspan="4">
                                <field colspan="4" name="partner_id" on_change="onchange_partner_id(partner_id, email_from)" select="1"/>
                                <field colspan="3" name="partner_address_id" on_change="onchange_partner_address_id(partner_address_id, email_from)" select="2"/>
                                <newline/>
                                <field colspan="3" name="email_from" select="2"/>
                                <button name="remind_partner" states="open,pending" string="Send Reminder" type="object"/>
                                <field name="user_id" select="1"/>
                                <button name="remind_user" states="open,pending" string="Send Reminder" type="object"/>
                            </group>

the line <field colspan="3" name="partner_address_id"
needs colspan="3" - if set to 4 the address_id is displayed on a new line.
so only 7 fields are used from 8 definend

IMHO 2 fields with colspan=4 should be able to reside in cols="8" without tricks.

colspan applies only to the field not the label. When you add a single field it uses 2 columns. If you use colspan="2" for the field it will use three columns, and so on.

I am surprised to learn this

http://doc.openerp.com/developer/2_6_views_events/views/design_element.html?highlight=colspan

colspan=”4”: the number of columns on which a field must extend.
and IMHO the "field" consists of the label and content

I frequently used colspan and had the impression that GTK and WEB Client include the label in the colspan
so colspan 4 is 1 for label and 3 for the field content

you may want to check the code from
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openerp-commiter/openobject-addons/chricar_price_unit/files/head:/crm/
crm.py (including new fields)
crm_view.xml - layout causing problems

BTW it takes some 30 seconds to switch from form to list with about 100 entries
