Title:
HUD - auto-complete should focus on mouse-over
Status in Ayatana Design:
Fix Committed
Status in Unity:
Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
With current behavior:
- Assume user has Firefox window active, and has a couple of applications
running in system panel.
- User presses 'Alt' and enters text "pref"
- Auto-complete list shows four choices, from different applications. First
choice is in focus, and a small app icon appears where the dash normally is,
indicating which application the option belongs to.
- User presses keyboard down arrow. Focus moves down to next auto-complete
choice, and "dash" icon changes to the icon for that app. There is no confusion
about which application you are about to interface with.
Problem:
If user wants to use mouse, it is unclear which applications own the
auto-complete suggestions beyond the first in the list. User cannot
discover which application owned the action in the HUD auto-complete
list until after he clicks it. A screenshot is attached showing the
problem (which applications own the two "> Preferences" entries?).
Solution:
Update the auto-complete suggestion list focus on mouse-over. This
way, when the user goes to click an entry, the focus will change to
where user's mouse is pointed, and the "dash" icon will update to the
icon of the application that owns the entry. The user will know which
application he is about to act upon.
--------------------------------------------------------
Desired Solution:
Update the auto-complete suggestion list focus on mouse-over. This
means:
- move the focus box
- update the app icon to reflect the currently focused app
- update the gray auto-complete text in the search box (when this is
implemented, this feature is not in the 12.04 implementation of the
HUD)
