1.0.0RC1 Browser message box popup window on delete item

Post by ptr727 »

Hi long time user of 0.7 versions.
Just did a clean install of 1.0.0RC1 on Windows using Chrome.

First impressions very good, great job!

One thing though;
When I click on a trash icon next to a completed entry, it brings up a browser message box, instead of a HTML based popup menu, like the bulk delete trashcan item does.
This is very disruptive, I hope this is known and will be fixed?

Will not be fixed for the final release and maybe never..
Because this works the fast and uniform for most users, you can just hit Enter to confirm.
Why do you say its more disruptive than a HTML one? Can always make it :)

It is disruptive because I click on the trashcan, then the browser opens a modal messagebox window near the top of the screen, making me move my mouse all the way over, to click it.
Why not reuse the popup window type HTML code used in other areas, you have the code, using browser messagebox is generally discouraged for interaction purposes, and only used for alerting purposes.
It is at minimum inconsistent user interaction, and at most disruptive.
