GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 650571
make actions separate buttons (rather than drop down list)
Last modified: 2018-05-22 12:09:56 UTC
it is too easy to forget to switch to the write action. Submit button could be replaced by the actual actions Comment: +-----------------------+ | | | | +-----------------------+ File: [ ][upload] Submit: [a comment] [reserve translation] [for review] [cancel last state]
s/the write action/the right action/ in addition, "review required" action label is misleading (bug #650562)
From UI workflow point of view, Before: 1. check/change (or forget) the drop down 2. add comments/files 3. press submit After 1. add comments/files 2. press the desired action. (in addition, "File: [_____] upload" could be grayed out when no file is expected)
Two drawbacks on your approach: - you are splitting a sentence "Submit .. a comment", "Submit ... for review" and other do not use the "Submit" first part. This obviously can be fixed by using verbs only (Add the comment, Reserve the translation ...) but will lead to the second drawback - the UI is getting cluttered with at least 3 or 4 buttons while only one is needed Still, there's room for improvement on that form... let's think about it

Created attachment 309208 [details] Mockup What about replacing the submit button with a "split button" like the one in the image?
