Public bug reported:
The dialog for when an application is non-responding, has pretty bad UX,
making it easy to accidentally close the application.
I have a game, and whenever it makes a save, the non-responding dialog
appears. Occasionally I have clicked "wait", but a few pixels off, and
the application is forcefully quit instead. I have also accidentally hit
the corner of my keyboard (enter key), and the same thing happens, all
progress since the last save is wiped immediately.
I would expect the default option to be safe (wait), and that there is
so much space between the buttons that a few pixels off would not kill
the application. I would expect there to be double click protection, so
that randomly clicking around in the application while it is hanging
does not risk killing the application if the "kill" button suddenly
appears under the mouse. I would expect that if I do click "wait", it
will wait for a significant while, not pop back up after only a few
seconds.
Besides:
I would expect there to be an easy way to report bugs. I had to jump through 10
minutes of hoops to create a random account I will never use again, just to be
allowed to type this. Do you want reports only from die-hards, or from real
users too? :P
