[SM2.3.3, Win7] View dropdown menu UI improvement ?
I'm on a Win7 Ultimate with SP1 system. My SM 2.3.3 is the pushed update to SM 2.3.2 which was downloaded and applied over an SM 2.0.14 system. I have no add-ons. On the third menu bar on the email screen there is a dropdown menu box called "View:" . When one clicks on the triangle in the box, instead of a normal drop down list of choices, the drop down list has a ball/bullet at the entry currently selected, if it is All or Unread, and blank in the space on the menu. If one moves up or down between those two entries they fill or blank respectively. The other choices appear to behave normally. Also if one chooses one of the other views, the bullet goes away and it doesn't come back if one goes back to 'all' or 'unread' without completing a choice. It must have taken some extra coding to design this behaviour. I just don't understand how this is supposed to be an improvement. -- Rostyk ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:27:19 -0400, /Rostyslaw Lewyckyj/: On the third menu bar on the email screen there is a dropdown menu box called "View:" . You have three menu bars, really? When one clicks on the triangle in the box, instead of a normal drop down list of choices, the drop down list has a ball/bullet at the entry currently selected, if it is All or Unread, and blank in the space on the menu. Which triangle do you click, the "View" menu contains quite a lot of sub menus with triangles to click? Looking further there are two sub menus with "All" and "Unread" items: "Messages" and "Threads" - which one? If one moves up or down between those two entries they fill or blank respectively. The other choices appear to behave normally. Does something behave abnormally in your description so far? Also if one chooses one of the other views, the bullet goes away and it doesn't come back if one goes back to 'all' or 'unread' without completing a choice. May be it is just me, but I'm having really hard time understanding what you're trying to say. It must have taken some extra coding to design this behaviour. I just don't understand how this is supposed to be an improvement.

You have three menu bars, really? Wow. Reading one of your other posts, I now realize you name all of the menu bar and the toolbars as menu bars. So you're really talking about the "Mail Views" widget on the default "Search Bar" toolbar (in my setup I don't have such one). -- Stanimir ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Perhaps I am not using the right terminology. On my screen: - The first line, menu bar, has : File, Edit, View, Options,... - The second line, menu bar, has: get msgs, compose,| Reply, Reply all, - The third line, I call it a menu bar, has: -- View: + drop down selection box, and -- 'Search Subject or Address' box, and -- and 'Advanced' button It is the View: + drop down selection box entry on the third line that I am referring to. Since you don't have this bar and widget, can you make any relevant comments anyhow? -- Rostyk ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Either I don't understand what you are saying or I'm not experiencing this behaviour. My View drop-down works perfectly fine and its "bullets" too, with no blank space.

So in your Search Bar, you are concerned that the bullet next to the All or Unread selection goes away when you select one of the Tags or Custom View, and doesn't return until you select All or Unread again? Is it in the release notes that this is an improvement? I'm too lazy to look right now. The space is for entering an address or subject you want to search for in your email or newsgroups. You didn't click advanced and find anything to complain about there? -- SeaMonkey ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I have one, so it must come by default -- I use a completely uncustomised Seamonkey front-end, with no "themes" or other cosmetic nonsense. Also, I can replicate the described effect : if I alternative between "All" and "Unread", the bullet faithfully follows my choice; but if I select "Tags/Important", the bullet disappears, so I no longer know whether I am viewing All + Tags/Important or Unread + Tags/Important.
