Public bug reported: I opened Leafpad to write a note to an inexperienced computer user who had left the room. When she came back, she read it and tried to close the note but couldn't figure out how to do so. She didn't understand that "Cancel" in Leafpad's save changes alert meant leave the window open.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Leafpad. 2. Type something. 3. Click the window's close box. Expected result: Button labels are verbs, as in Gedit (Ubuntu) and SimpleText (classic Mac OS), and the data loss button is distinctively spaced. Save changes to Untitled? [ Don't Save ] [ Cancel ] [ Save ] Save changes to Untitled? [ Close Without Saving ] [ Cancel ] [ Save ] Actual result: Yes-No-Cancel labels, equally spaced. Save changes to Untitled? [ No ] [ Cancel ] [ Yes ] I thought "Yes-No-Cancel" labels were deprecated in favor of "Verb-Another Verb-Cancel": "For example Find and Log In are better buttons than Yes and OK." http://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/3.4/windows-alert.html.en ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: leafpad 0.8.18.1-2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-31.50-generic 3.2.28 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-31-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu13 Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Oct 12 08:06:06 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/leafpad InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: leafpad UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-06-15 (119 days ago) ** Affects: leafpad (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065955 Title: Button labels in save changes alert are not verbs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/leafpad/+bug/1065955/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
