The number from Jakob Nielsen's studies is actually 10 seconds, FWIW: http://www.webperformancetoday.com/tag/jakob-nielsen/ > > By "the box abuts the left margin", you just mean that it looks odd > > without any sort of button/box next to it, right?

This is really hard to figure out without a screenshot, can you send one? It shouldn't look as you're describing so there may be a bug affecting the margins. > The box scrolls with the mouse, but there are only 2 drives visible at > any time.

The box should show 4-5 drives before requiring scrolling, so I think this issue would also be more easily sorted with a screenshot of this screen, can you provide one? > If I can't see it, and am not told it's there, then it isn't there. Do we have anything set for right-click on the drives right now? Maybe we could have it pop up on right-click since right-click is commonly used for 'more details' about an object? > Requiring hover is also bad for those who use assisting technologies. Mouseover hovers are fine so long as keyboard focus triggers the same hover, since some assisting technologies involve the use of keyboard, joystick, or switches. Users who use assisting technologies where eye-tracking moves the mouse (head or eye-tracking equipment) use blinks to click the mouse so they could still hover as well. > >> There was no message "No LVM2 structures were found" which is > >> required in order to increase my confidence and help detect errors. > > > > What? > > If disk discovery gets something wrong. then there is a moderate chance > of data loss, and that would be catastrophic.

You should always back up your data before running an installer, especially one that's under heavy development. :) ~m _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
