GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 323127
Attachments pane gone wild
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:04:09 UTC
The attachment pane lacks the *highly* useful feature of "minimizing". If there is any attachment, the attachment pane wastes Composer real-estate galore. There is absolutely no way of wasting less space and having more space to see the message you are actually typing. Please, add that handy triangle thingy back to the Attachment pane. This is a regression from 2.2 and a serious usability issue. While it is a good thing to automatically open the attachment pane, when adding an attachment, not having the option to minimize it is very bad. Displaing the contents of the Attachment pane makes the user aware he just added an attachment, preventing sending attachments by accident. But please, let the user decide if he needs space to type a message. Just get freakin triangle thingy back.
It is *bad* to remove useful features. And BTW, thanks for *not* listening to the discussion on the lists... :-/ GAR
Sorry, this likely is Evolutio/Mailer, not GtkHTML. Re-assigning.
Confirming the bug.
fixed in head
Srag: Great! Thanks, dude. :) See bug 311501 for an additional issue closed due to getting this feature back.
