Description Mads Rosendahl 2017-10-07 08:43:14 UTC 
Usability bug in Settings -> Devices -> Display

Only way to close the dropdown-list is by click the (X) close icon. When you are changing the resolution, this feels like clicking the CANCEL button rather than OK. You can see the APPLY button in the top right corner becomes active, but you can't click it.

Shouldn't the resolution be applied instantly or the APPLY button placed in the same "window" as the resolution list?

Actually, the dropdown-list should just close when a new resolution is closed.

I think this issue will be solved if we use a popover rather than a dialog, as per bug 786726.
