--- Comment #17 from BenderIRC <kdebugtrac...@benderirc.de> ---
Your right, from the job done so far, i was imagening a bigger team for krita,
as it's one of the lighthouse projects for OSS development. 

Ok, in this case, take it from a guy whos coding for 35 years now: 

Adding this hint messages does not help the user whos seeing the dropbox,
because hes not clicking there, as i did. Users don't tend to do this, it's not
obvious for the work flow.

The better way is to add a check before the message is displayed, who ensures,
that it's only shown when really needed. 

Displaying the selection area will never be noticed as a "mistake/bug/reason"
for displaying this error message. I already talked with different people about
this matter today, and they all agree, that what you planed, does not solve the
problem.

I doN#t argument for myself, as i now know what and why it happens, but normal
users with no background will never understand why you display a message, and
write inside, that he can ignore it, when ... Normal users will always consider
it as a major bug when a warning message is shown. There is no way to deny
this. 

Go grab your neigbour , place him infront of your terminal, let him execute the
steps, and check his reaction to the message box. You will instantly accept all
I tried to tell you today ;) You will see.. trust an old dev ;)
