The reason that #7028 hasn't been included is the same reason that any other ticket hasn't been included -- time. We have finite resources. We can only fix a certain number of tickets if we want to keep a timely release schedule. As good as the ideas in #7028 are, they're not absolutely essential - we've lived without the feature for a long time, and there's no data loss at stake. As a result, it's been sacrificed in the interests of other tickets. #7028 is also subject to another major impediment -- it's dealing with an area that requires front-end expertise. From my personal perspective, I'm hesitant to get involved in anything touching the front end out of lack of knowledge. I don't profess to being a UX expert, and I'm certainly not an expert at CSS. I don't have the facilities to do rigorous testing on any platform other than OSX. So - even thought this ticket has been on my radar for a while, the barrier for entry for me is higher than it is for other tickets.
