Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-10-10 14:00:15 UTC
This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17433

"Please describe your feature request:
I'd like to request that the "Save as draft" button be moved to the
other end of the toolbar, as it's dangerously close to the "Send the
message" button. A mis-placed mouse could result in major embarassment
if an email was sent rather than saved. I'd call it a usability issue."

hmmm... i dislike all those "don't put anything near the send button", "don't
put anything near the "forget passwords" menu item" etc requests, but sure, valid.
what about a confirmation dialog "are you really sure you want to send this 
message"? ;-p

naa, just kidding and only my opinion, at least confirming the bug.
Comment 2 vivek jain 2005-10-17 05:03:54 UTC
Adding usability keyword.
Comment 3 Srinivasa Ragavan 2005-10-18 05:58:32 UTC
I guess there was a bug, that dont put 'attach' near 'send' since, many hit send
while trying to attach. So we introduced 'save draft' near 'send'. What u think
can be better placed near send. It cant be just lying alone there. I felt the
earlier one more valid than this. Attach is clicked more often, so it made sense
i guess. 

If we remove Save Draft, the next button would become a bug. Or else remove send
from there, but i dont think that is the solution. 

I dont think we can go in that fashion. I prefer to close this, but wanted ur
opinion too.

distro comment: "Fair enough. How about a spacer between "Send" and whatever then?"

As said on the distribution's bugzilla the place should probably used, I would
just close this bug, that's a detail, thanks.

distro comment:

"I mean one of those vertical bar spacers | as used between other button groups
on the toolbar. Doesn't take up much room, but gives the user a moment to
realize their mouse has slipped off the "Save" button. "
