Michael MacFadden commented on WAVE-267:
----------------------------------------
First, we should be careful in our language. We aren't talking about deleting
the "first blip", we are talking about deleting the "only" blip. It is fine to
delete the first blip if there are more blips in the thread since you still
wind up with a thread with blips in it. Deleting the only blip in the thread
is more complicated.
The other thing is that if we allow the conversation to have no blips, then we
need some UI concept to create the first Blip. As I said I don't think "Reply"
is the right concept at that point.
> Deleting the only blip in the root thread is not handled well

> Key: WAVE-267
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAVE-267
> Project: Wave
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Web Client
> Reporter: Michael MacFadden
>
> When you create a wave the root thread contains a single blip by default. If
> you delete this blip right off the bat several strange things start to
> happen.
> First Case:
> 1) Create a new wave.
> 2) While still in edit mode click the delete link in the single blip.
> 3) The reply box is not shown.
> At this point without refreshing the browser you can't create a new blip. If
> you now click on another wave, you get a shinny. If on the other hand you
> refresh the browser the reply box comes back.
> Second Case:
> 1) Create a new wave.
> 2) Click edit to get out of edit mode.
> 3) Click the delete link.
> 4) Click the reply box.
> We get a shinny.
> I am not certain what the correct behavior is, but I am sure this is not it.
> Should we prevent the user from deleting the blip if it is the only blip in
> the root thread. I don't see a case where a conversation with no blips is
> useful. If we do want to allow the user to delete this blip, the what is the
> UI metaphor for creating a new blip in an empty thread. The reply box is
> probably not correct since you aren't replying to anything.
