Public bug reported: The current preferences behavior of synaptic goes against the GNOME HIG. See this website http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0 /windows-utility.html#windows-instant-apply
Instead of having the buttons "Apply", "Cancel", and "OK" at the bottom of the preferences window there should be "Close" and optionally "Help". When a user changes a preferences it should be applied instantly without the user needing to press the "OK" button. ** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Synaptic should do instant apply https://launchpad.net/bugs/67392 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
