CSS

Layout

• See ticket:10856#comment:14
  • better position for the action buttons (#10948)
  • why not 100% width?
• more width given to the text areas:
  • current:

    | Description: | +----------------------+ |
    |              | |                      | |
    |              | |     (colspan=3)      | |
    |              | |                      | |
    |              | +----------------------+ |
    

  • on separate row:

    | Description:                            |
    | +-------------------------------------+ |
    | |                                     | |
    | |              (colspan=4)            | |
    | |                                     | |
    | +-------------------------------------+ |
    

• side-by-side edit on large screen?

• Truncate quoted replies. Show only a few lines of a quoted reply and allow the quoted text to be expanded to full by clicking on the quoted reply. Collapsing long WikiProcessor output, either by default or using a keyword argument, would also be useful.

User interface guidelines

• Periodically poll for availability of new comments and show a message when new comments are available, or just update the page with the new comments. For example, Gmail displays a dialog when there are new messages available. Currently the page is only refreshed during preview or autopreview.

Other glitches

Notifications

• editing a comment doesn't send notifications; this shouldn't necessarily be done for all, but there must be a way to get them
• in ticket box preview for a new ticket, '#' is a link to /ticket (⇒ No handler matched request to /ticket)

TracLinks

• support #271#comment:12
