You know the addage: something old, something new, something borrowed (this will be our more native look and feel), something blue (this will be our colour palette on vista and osx).
Honestly, Mark, I thought you’d be shouting “Mazel Tov”.
I was about to comment on how it was Dinosaur Comics that made users most sorely want this feature, but I see that it was responsible for the fix too — the patch with the fix (from a year ago) says:
“[...] which reminded me of Ryan North asking so nicely for
this fix at a dinner last year.”
I was about to vote up the XML error formatting bug Jeff linked in Mark’s comments this morning*, even though I know voting in Bugzilla is useless. Apparently Dinosaur Comics is more effective than Bugzilla, so it might be better for me to start a webcomic for bugtracking. Who can draw Foxkeh?
*Sorry, I’d link this if I were on a device that could copy and paste.
Meanwhile, us SeaMon^WIceApe users have had the fix for a year.
exactly. firefox is becoming a joke.
Comment #291 on the first long tooltips Bugzilla link is by one “Randall Monroe”, who describes himself as the author of “a largish webcomic.” (On 2006-09-24.)
If only all bugs were as easy to fix as tossing up what amounts to a very basic web page…
But you’re right. *Nothing* should land before all bugs more important than it are fixed.
@Lucy: I don’t agree with that and I don’t think that’s what Mark was saying. The post has a fairly deadpan feel to it.
I love the way these two links show very different faces of the Mozilla bug tracker: one essentially a slow and painful flamewar and the other a silly joke.
