Misleading behavior - preview Ticket change

Reported by: Felix Collins Owned by: ecarter
Priority: highest Milestone: 0.11
Component: ticket system Version: 0.9
Severity: minor Keywords: preview

Description (last modified by mgood) (diff)

When one edits a ticket and hits the enter key, the behavior is to preview the ticket. The preview condition is not obvious. Unless the description is changed the only indication is the "#preview" on the end of the URL…

I propose that the preview button be shifted to reside next to the Description edit box and that the default action for the page (on hitting enter) is to submit changes.

I've entered this as a defect as I consider it a design defect. An alternative view is that it is an enhancement.

Reading a bit more about this issue it becomes apparent that it is to deal with browser s treating enter in different ways. I different proposal to that stated above is to put a Draft background behind the ticket when preview is hit.

  • Description modified (diff)
  • Owner changed from jonas to mgood
  • Priority changed from low to highest

I agree that the preview background is better than changing the "Enter" behavior.

Someone seems to think that this is a nice ticket to mess around with :-/

Why not block anonymous from changing properties then?

Well, of course this must be a nice ticket to mess around with, as it is available from within the Sandbox(!). Let me explain how I got here:

  • On the Trac homepage (http://trac.edgewall.org/) I clicked on the "SandBox" link in the text at the bottom of the page
  • In the SandBox I clicked on the "View Tickets" tab
  • Still assuming I'm in the SandBox, I clicked on "All Active Tickets"
  • This ticket here was on top of the list, so I just clicked it
  • Result: I got to this ticket while still assuming being _in_the_SandBox_ (!)

I guess that everbody else and their dog also assumed this…

ciao, daniel ;-)

  • Owner changed from lirong@… to mgood

Why are you trying to change the owner?

comment:18 Changed 6 years ago by mgood

  • Milestone set to 0.11

I'll try to get this in the next milestone.

Also, in the WorkFlow branch, the preview is much nicer than it currently is, and it's much more obvious that you're actually seeing the preview. So I'd say after the WorkFlow merge, we should reconsider this ticket and see if there's still a need to do something about this…

  • Keywords preview added

Eli worked on this topic, in the source:sandbox/pycon/ticket-preview@4990 branch.

And athomas merge that branch in trunk, in r4986.
