--- Comment #12 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #5) > Making the dialog amodal is not a good solution. Feature-wise it might work > but not when consistency and familiarity is relevant. Absolutely puzzling statement. Consistency: we have several non-modal dialogs, without anything problematic for users. One is Find & Replace; another is Insert Field. Familiarity: unless you refer to "existing users are accustomed to modal Special Characters dialog, and their workflow will be badly damaged by changing it to non-modal" (which would need some proof): the most used office application (MS Office) has its Character dialog non-modal in Word. I would say: by all means, do implement this proposal. It will improve UX, make it more familiar, will match expectations better, and will not have a single downside. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
