Description Forgotten User CRPsQFwJ3b 2008-03-25 00:09:57 UTC

When a package in the bottom of the package list is selected the "Information" Panel is shown in the bottom of the window. This has 2 issues for me

1) The Panel covers the currently selected package
2) Showing the Panel on item selection is strange and confusing as you are dynamically modifying the UI (not showing something new as a popup, but already modifying the existing UI). I propose the Info Panel is always shown, even if no package is selected - e.g with something like "No package selected" or something.

Attached screenshots.

Hi there. That behavior is intended; so we don't obfuscate the user with all the UI elements available at once.
What we might want to do is to not let it hide after it has been initially made acknowledged.
Making sure it doesn't cover that first selected package is also a good idea.

Alright; done those two points I mentioned.

I'm setting this as closed, but feel free to express your (dis-)satisfaction, and we can work something out. Btw, I'm expecting this to hit Factory in a couple of days, so check that out!
