Oddly enough, what has slowed down my response to this 'new feature' is that it
is hard to phrase a search term which will connect up with this new feature. I
finally just typed in the error message.

Might I point out that ANY change to dialogs like this may have serious
repercussions which might be delayed many months and even years.
Gnome has changed how "pop ups" behave. They no longer float freely but are
anchored. That was a bad idea because now a 'pop up' can obscure other
information and cannot be moved! That means text being displayed can NEVER be
seen because the pop up is locked over it!
I have been a Professional member of ACM since 1991, but have been designing
and coding software since the mid 70s. I have seen almost every major software
vendor, IBM, Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, Sun, Lotus, Gnome, make a similar
blunder thinking they were improving things but failing to realize large parts
of their user community depended on seemingly minor software behaviors.
When I see things like this, I ALWAYS get concerned that there are no
responsible adults in the room . That is the major single factor in whether I
concur that some piece of software is reliable enough for businesses to rely
on.
Remember, spreadsheets are used to make financial decisions. I personally use
it to make budgets of over $1M a year. These budgets both are very detailed and
compare many years. There are a lot of blemishes I can live with. I am certain
there are minor inconsistencies in almost any 25 page budget. But If I can't be
sure that something is not there after I have searched for it, that software is
history in a heartbeat.
