GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 87677
Button for Submitting Comments
Last modified: 2005-12-21 09:08:24 UTC
The button for submitting additional comments is poorly placed on the screen. Because of its location immediately under the box marked "Private Changes", it does not look like it will send your comments publicly or that average user person will have access to make these changes. The button for submitting comments to an existing bug should be placed more prominently so it is easier for a user attempting to add information to find.
Davef, Rebecca[1], anyone else: are there objections if we make this look like b.x.c, where it just says 'Commit Changes'? Would this be sufficient? I'm not sure where else to physically place it on the page- it seems like if you move it too much, you'll just confuse people about how to make changes to other fields. [1] long time no see, BTW :)
Yes, the button in Ximian is much clearer. I would be satisfied with that fix. Now I get to go searching the one here again... (EEK!)
Hmm, this just occured to me because of some other conversations on bugmaster lately. We might be best off having a button right next to "Additional Comments" that says "Submit Comments", and ONLY submits changes to the comments box, or at least ignores any changes that normally require "special privledges". That'd be a rather large change from what we have now, but it might be worth looking at later.
Is this still considered a problem? There are two commit buttons on the new layout, one near the comment text box, and one below the rest of the fields.
yeah, fixed.
