Description Ann Sunhachawee 2002-11-27 01:48:03 UTC 
Because it is difficult to understand the action
"Default" when labelled on a button in various
property editors throughout the IDE, make it
clearer by rewording it to "Revert to Default". 

Some examples of where this exists (not inclusive):
1) Form Editor, Component Inspector Prop sheet, 
   a) any of the properties that bring up the
color picker (background, foreground)
   b) font property
2) Executor selection (can get there by clicking
on Java node, Execution tab of property sheet,
click on Executor property)

Tim , 
can you look at this, please ?  It is necessary change string from
bundle only, thanks in advance.
Comment 2 Ann Sunhachawee 2003-02-20 21:36:56 UTC 
Looking at the button layout, it _seems_ that the "Revert to Default"
button is part of the OK/Cancel button group, which  shouldn't be the
case. Suggestion is to left justify the Revert to Default button to
visually show that it is not part of the group. Another side effect of
removing it from the group if it does belong to the group is that the
buttons won't share the width of the longest label.

This is a UI change that will impact docs, and we are past UI freeze.

Should this be integrated for 3.5 or after 3.5 is branched into the
4.0 trunk?
Comment 4 Patrick Keegan 2003-02-25 13:50:12 UTC 
Thanks for the heads up. I'll let the other writers know. My guess is that this is too big of a change to 
get in this late, but if nobody objects, I won't either. I'll respond to this bug again in a couple of 
days.
Comment 5 _ tboudreau 2003-02-26 19:52:04 UTC 
Last chance to object, or I will commit this tomorrow.
Comment 6 _ tboudreau 2003-02-27 15:41:38 UTC 
I am marking this as fixed.  At the moment, web.czech seems to be
down so I cannot access the CVS tunnel - I will commit it as soon as
it is available again, or worst case make the commit tonight
from home.

Comment 7 Patrick Keegan 2003-02-27 15:43:48 UTC 
Docs doesn't object to the change, however it was suggested that "Reset to Default" would be clearer than 
"Revert to Default"
Comment 8 _ tboudreau 2003-02-27 15:46:03 UTC 
Property editors for the verbally challenged...will do, it's now
"Reset to default".
