Description Michael Terry 2003-02-24 22:41:59 UTC
In the section Windows->Alerts->Confirmation Alerts->Save Confirmation
Alerts, Figure 3.18 is a little confusing.

In the text, it says to use "If you close without saving, changes from the
last Time Period will be discarded" for the secondary text.  In the
picture, it uses "If you close without saving, changes from the past Time
Period will be discarded."  The difference is that in the text, the word
last is used; in the figure, the word past is used.

I only bring up this minor discrepency because this section seems to try to
nail down the wording pretty tightly and specifically.

Also, the dialog shows the "Close without saving" and the "Cancel" buttons
with the "C" mnemonic.  Is that acceptable?
Comment 1 Calum Benson 2003-03-24 18:50:25 UTC
Both fixed in CVS.
Comment 2 Michael Terry 2005-01-15 07:26:53 UTC
Both these issues are still present in HIG 2.0 and HIG CVS, although the figure
is now 3.17.

I'm reopening this bug.

Hmm, it appears that calum did fix this issue like he said:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/web-devel-2/content/projects/gup/hig/images/save_alert.png?rev=1.8&view=markup

However Mr. Nickell reverted us in this one:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/web-devel-2/content/projects/gup/hig/images/save_alert.png?rev=1.9&view=markup

I'm closing this bug as it was fixed and I think we can continue with the issue
from bug 162947
