Personally the new UI is distracting to me, the variation in fonts/font sizes is distracting instead of putting emphasis and focus. There are other things, like 'ovm' still showing up in the add cluster drop down when OVM is not supported in CloudStack, but you are right it's a detail who cares. > I am going to ask everyone to PLEASE respect this when determining priority > on UI bugs -- I know things like this are somewhat ugly, but there are only a > small handful of full-time UI developers working on CloudStack and it makes > our lives harder if everyone is marking trivial stuff as show-stoppers. > This is great, so it can look like crap, as long as it works we release on the first iteration of a major revision. In any case you can remove this as a blocker, it seems I am in minority here, at least I got you to respond on the list and share your thoughts on the subject. As a parting thought though, I don't think that 'everyone is making trivial stuff as show-stoppers', I did not hear many UI blocker bugs lately > At any rate, if you still think this is a blocker, you can feel free to look > into it yourself, in which case write a review request and I'll take a look > at it. > > -Brian > > -----Original Message----- > From: Sebastien Goasguen [mailto:run...@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2014 11:56 AM > To: Brian Federle > Cc: dev@cloudstack.apache.org; Jessica Wang > Subject: Re: UI blocker > > > On Jan 16, 2014, at 2:48 PM, Brian Federle <brian.fede...@citrix.com> wrote: > >>>> Did you happen to check the View Users page ? the api/secret keys display >>>> is being truncated. >> >> Yes, though to fix that I'll have to rework a bit of the detail view layout >> to allow more flexible sizing for long strings.
