Description Yanbing Lu 2008-03-10 18:36:35 UTC

As someone who is colour blind, the distinction between the
different types of connection isn't clear, would fail
an accessibility test, and isn't readily understandable.  
Editor should provide different pin styles to show different
input types.

Comment 1 Ritesh Adval 2008-07-30 23:12:13 UTC

Not sure we need to do different pins. We have link highlighting to show invalid connection.

This is an enhancement if ever do. Marking it enhancement.

Comment 2 Ritesh Adval 2008-07-30 23:22:16 UTC

This is an accessbility bug.

Comment 3 Ritesh Adval 2008-08-19 00:06:02 UTC

We show a cross on operators when do a link to show which operators can not be connected.

This is good enough, so that one with color blindness can see where a connection can not be made.

I am closing this bug. QA please verify if this is still an A11Y bug.

Comment 5 jlautz 2008-10-08 17:47:47 UTC

Verified as not fixed.
