GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 635738
Sanitize Previous/Next buttons when not usable
Last modified: 2010-11-30 08:38:33 UTC
Previous and Next buttons when at the end or beginning of the messages in a folder: in Evo 2.28, when you got to the newest message, then the Next button would be greyed out; now in 2.30.3 & current git master, it's still available, but clicking it does nothing. Same for the previous button on the oldest message in a folder. I kind of liked the old behavior, because then could tell when I was at the beginning or the end. Now it just feels like my computer is ignoring me. Proposed solution, either: a) disabling the button, as per previous versions. b) or make clicking it close the message window, to signify that the user has got to the end of the folder.
Created attachment 175302 [details] [review] evo patch for evolution; Sanitizes all Go To menu items based on the actual position of the cursor in the message list.
Created commit b0ec195 in evo master (2.91.3+) Created commit 97b56f8 in evo gnome-2-32 (2.32.2+)
Yay, thank you, that's an amazingly quick resolution :-)
I realized that EMailBrowser wasn't updating actions on select, thus even it knew what to do it didn't do it. Fixed in follow-up commits: Created commit 9f9eb9b in evo master (2.91.4+) Created commit 950309c in evo gnome-2-32 (2.32.2+)
