--- Comment #10 from MacAhi <[email protected]> --- I viewed the survey. It would have been better to have asked if Comments should be *allowed* to have levels of transparency. Having done hundreds of user surveys in my 40+ year career as a developer, I understand that getting people to respond to surveys can be challenging, but 17 users is hardly representative of the user community. If users voted to show the color Red, when a user chooses Green, would you support that decision? I certainly hope you'd say no, you wouldn't. Why? Because that decision, no matter how popular it may be, doesn't make sense. The setting is Green, not Red, just as No Transparency means zero transparency, not >0% transparency. If you decided to change the setting title to "Minimum Transparency", I'd still argue that you're making the wrong decision by not allowing a Comment to be opaque on mouseover (the way most comments are viewed), but at least the setting would be doing what it says, unlike how it works today. It's inaccurate, which is not something you want in a program. Fonts also has a No Transparency setting, but I notice that actually works correctly. Why the intransigence on the Comments? In the end, this setting doesn't break the tool. It's not going to produce invalid numbers or break any macros, but it is an inconvenience that simply doesn't need to be there. It can make it very difficult to quickly read comments when the box is over content that interferes with the data in the comment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
