brushed commented on JSPWIKI-913:
---------------------------------
Dave,
The hover-menu with basic editing TOOLs has been replaced with a toggle icon.
(since around 2.10.3-svn-20)
Additionally the editing TOOLs now also appear when selecting some text.
Suggest to close the issue.

> HADDOCK: remove hover-to-reveal behaviour for editor toolbar icons
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JSPWIKI-913
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-913
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Editors, Templates and UI
> Affects Versions: 2.10.2
> Environment: Client is:
> - Firefox 40 (Ubuntu 14.04).
> Server is:
> - JSPWiki v2.10.2-svn-25 running in GlassFish v4
> - Container managed authentication is enabled using a file-based realm
> - HTTPS is enabled
> - JSPWiki policy is locked down such that only authenticated users have
> access (both read and write)
> Reporter: Dave Koelmeyer
> Assignee: brushed
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.10.3
>
>
> With fix https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-908 basic editor
> toolbar icons were added back to HADDOCK (thanks).
> The problem with the current implementation is accessing them is rather
> tedious. A user first has to hover the mouse over the paint drop icon, wait
> for the horizontal icon menu to reveal, then move the mouse in a linear
> horizontal motion to the desired icon. If the icon happens to be at the end
> of the row (say, the "Font" icon), and focus with the mouse is lost, the menu
> disappears and the user has to repeat the operation again (hover -> wait ->
> move).
> I've already had to do this multiple times and I'm a pretty steady hand. It
> makes unnecessarily hard work of operations that should be a fast point and
> click operation – as it would be with a simple static icon.
> On a 1280x1024 display at 100 percent zoom, the current icon set only covers
> about a third of the potential space that could be used in the same
> horizontal row, so it's not like any space will be wasted per se.
> The improvement request here is to consider placing common editor toolbar
> commands back as static buttons.
