I'm not saying the it's a bad thing to communicate the fact that the operation won't have any noticeable effect. I AM saying that I don't like the interface remove options just because. So some other way of communicating the same information would be good.
I can understand that the "forward" command is disabled if there is no forward page. But in this case it is impossible to perform the command. But the "reset zoom level to normal" is always possible to perform, even if it's already at "normal". A carpenter doesn't know that the nail is all the way down by the hammer going away, he can still hit the nail, it just won't do any good.. I as a user want the comfort of knowing that the commands I use is available to me, even if others think of me as stupid for using them. It's the same thing with the "save" command in some programs. I want to be able to tell the program "I don't care that I haven't changed anything since last save, just do whatever you do with whats there now and write it to disk." It's somewhat similar to the thing MS does where they collapse menus so only used commands is shown. I read some paper where they found that most user had a bad experience from that. It's all about the comfort of a stable interface. -- "Normal Size" command unavailable when font is normal size https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103184 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
