Posted upstream with proposed patch here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323951 Fix committed to upstream CVS, should make it into 2.5.3 tarball (In reply to comment #2) > Fix committed to upstream CVS, should make it into 2.5.3 tarball Dave, did this fix get reverted upstream? I'm running 2.7.3 and it looks like nothing has changed. I got bug #175596 (capitalization) into Rawhide and am pushing for it upstream. How strongly do you feel about this one, given upstream's response? It looks like upstream has rejected the changes to the Mailing List submenu and reverted the changes to the other items in the Message menu, although the upstream bug report does not reflect this. I'm going to close this as WONTFIX, since I'm not sure I agree with the proposed changes either. |
From the GNOME HIG: "Command items are menu items that initiate a command or perform an action, such as Save, Print or Quit. They may act on the currently active document in a document based application, or on the application itself." ... "Label the menu item with a trailing ellipsis ("...") only if the command requires further input from the user before it can be performed. Do not add an ellipsis to items that only present a confirmation dialog (such as Delete), or that do not require further input (such as Properties, Preferences or About)." (see http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-design.html#menu-grouping Menu items I think should have trailing ellipsis characters: Message -> Compose New Message Post New Message to Folder Reply Post a Reply Reply to Sender Reply to List Forward Redirect Move to Folder Copy to Folder Mailing List -> Get list usage information Subscribe to list Un-subscribe to list Post message to list Contact list owner Get list archive Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.5.2-1
