Re: [platform-ui-dev] Support a less disruptive work mode by moving popups and dialogs to inline editing and notifications
|
I also support this and actually have work in my pipe to handle some of the cases. We sometimes even have dialog upon dialog scenarios like it was with the Capabilities preference (bug 488214). I am planning to work on the editing of environment variables in bug 483084 which perfectly fits with this email's concern.
Overall I'm up for having a super bug tracking these cases and a guideline for the most re-occurring patterns.
