What > do you think? Hey Máirín, What practical problems did you have with '*'? Hi Denys, The '*' just isn't as polished as the proper bullet character. I understand the concern over the bullet's appearance might appear to be superficial. Users sometimes trust software (however unfair it may be) according to its level of polish. If a UI uses "*" instead of "•" or "=>" instead of real arrows, or even icons that are clipped or don't match each other in style/etc., it can be easy to lose a user's trust in the application's ability to function as promised. Perceived aesthetic values have been correlated with perceived usability and the relationship has been shown to be quite strong in HCI research, an example of one such study is: TRACTINSKY, N., KATZ, A.S., AND IKAR, D. [2000]. What is beautiful is usable. In Interacting with Computers, 13 (2000), 127-145. (PDF: http://schol.as/item/9I-53ZNVK/Tractinsky__2000__-_What_is_Beautiful_is_Usable.pdf) I think you will agree that building users' trust in the software we put out is a practical concern.

Description of problem: Hi, the ABRT review backtrace screen uses '*' characters rather than real bullet characters ('•') in the tooltip towards the bottom. I think using '•' instead of '*' will make the screen look more polished. What do you think? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abrt-1.1.13-1.fc13.x86_64
