Since you mention both system-config-printer and network-manager, I'm assuming this bug report is about the fallback alerts in general. Fixing the individual system-config-printer alert should be reported separately.
The reason fallback alerts have both "Cancel" and "OK" is that "Cancel" is equivalent to clicking the close button in a bubble, while "OK" is equivalent to clicking anywhere else in the bubble (the "default" action). Often these do the same thing (i.e. nothing), but sometimes they do different things. As I understand it, the protocol makes it impossible for Notify OSD to tell whether those callbacks do the same thing, so it has to provide buttons for both, just in case. If I'm wrong and Notify OSD could tell whether they are the same (David? Mirco?), that would be great -- the fallback alert could have just "OK" in that case. -- If bubble is replaced by alert window (infinite timeout, actions), window has unneeded OK/Cancel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical Desktop Experience Team, which is a direct subscriber. Status in “notify-osd” source package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: notify-osd To reproduce, remove the paper from a local printer and print a job on it. You get a window in the middle of the screen telling "Printer XXX out of paper". It has an OK and a Cancel button. I do not see any difference for OK and Cancel. Independent what I click the window is closed and the job stays in the queue (or gets printed when I refill paper). So I expect only an OK (or a Close) button here. Other possibility (saw it only some weeks ago, do not know whether the notification type has changed) is to switch between networks by clicking the network manager icon in the tray and choosing a network in the list. When the connection to the network completes (or fails), a window pops up in the middle of the screen saying something like "You are no connected to the YYY network", with three buttons, "Do not show such notifications again", OK, and Cancel. The latter two do not show any difference in behavior, they both close the window. OK (or Close) would be enough, Cancel is superfluous. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
