NB 5.0 (200509191800) + collaboration modules updated from Dev Update Center It should be more useful, when user invokes Collaborate|Login action, to open the dialog, where the user can choose log in to / create new account on the server. This issue has been also pointed during the UI review of collaboration module as a P1.

That would be great, but: *) it's too late for such a big UI change *) It is not a bug. Let's keep this as P1 enhancement for next release.
Petr, nice try ... I know you won't agree, but: > *) it's too late for such a big UI change - this is not a reason to change DEF->ENH > *) It is not a bug. - This is an usability bug. I agree with downgrading the priority to P2, so you can ask for waiver.
I was actually ballancing between P1/ENH and P2/DEFECT. I thought keeping P1 would be more important for you but I have no strong preferrence :-)
Oops, sorry, my browser remembered my previous state...
I've been discussing with Petr the tasks he is going to work next and we also touched this issue. I agree that the described behaviour is annoying, but I am not sure whether to classify it as highly visible or just minor usability problem. I tend to see it as minor one. Could not the priority be updated accordingly?
Yarda, Petr, I am not sure we are on the same wave, but I try. I think, there is a very annying and highly visible usability bug: - If user invokes action and window, that is waiting for the input is opened as docked one - I guess it's really strange. ( could you imagine the same behaviour for example for your Firefox? after pushing firefox icon, there will be just the panel somewhere on the main window waiting for your login/passwd - no dialog? ) - Another issue (Petr said that both issues will be solved at once, that was the reason I agreed to close the second one as the duplicate of this one) is that the window is changed, means the old one is removed from the WS and it's replaced by another one - I think user has to be lost in such UI This is from QA point of view. Just to point it out, HIE found this as two P1s usability problems. Probably they changed their mind, but I haven't seen another/different comments or statement yet. So to answer your question: > Could not the priority be updated accordingly? There were 2 usability bugs with priority P1, after some discussion it's changed to one P2. So if you want update priority accordingly, I vote for P1.
Ok, so here is an HIE input: I didn’t change my mind. I’m still thinking this issue is a Defect and I disagree with changing it to an Enhancement. In addition to that, this is really visible UI bug (Marian described it well); the workflow is strange, the UI is not intuitive and the first impression is really bad IMO. So from UI point of view this issue must be definitely fixed. I’d like to see this issue to be fixed in this promo, however, if there is no time to do such a UI change, I'm be able to accept waiving this issue to promo G, because it’s an add-on module.
Let's waive this issue, no time to do it and functionality is not broken by it.
