Re: [ide-dev] 10 ideas to improve Eclipse IDE usability

Did you do a usability study to prove your assumptions correct?

The intent of F2 is really to just give focus to the hover, e.g. for accessibility. That we don't show the two buttons, was a concise decision because once you have the severity of your project problems configured, those buttons will always be just noise. I don't think a new bug is required here.

This is for sure NOT a communication issue or nothing like that. People who want to know what's new can easily find it, no problem on that point.
I'm more concerned by the usability issue and the "hide actions by default" behavior of that warning pop-up. Is there a UI guideline enforcing that? If there is one, is it still accurate (we don't design UX now as we used to do 6 years ago...)?
Should we continue the discussion about this specific pop-up on another Bugzilla?
