Adding an icon *absolutely* skews the results. I’d be more apt to pay attention to this if it had been tested without the pencil icon. I also think that having the location of the affordance be variable based upon the length of the section title is a bad experience. --- Brandon Harris, Senior Designer, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ Design mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/design
