During testing, I made some interesting observations that I wanted to
comment about, but JIRA is read-only at the moment, so I'll just paste
it here:
Tested, works as expected with the following exceptions:
Revoking "See my online status" permission automatically also
revokes "See me on the map" permission
This can be seen by the following observations:
* In *step 8*, the "See me on the map" icon also no longer appears
* In *step 9*, the "See me on the map" is already unchecked
(OFF), so this step cannot be performed
I guess this is expected behavior, as the ability to locate someone
on the map would leak the fact that they're online. However, I think
there should be some visual indication of this when revoking the
"See my online status" permission. I.e. in *step 7*, we should have:
* *Expected:* The "See me on the map" checkbox is unchecked
(OFF) and disabled (grayed out)
Permission icons not updating for granter while hovering over
grantee's name
To reproduce:
As TESTER1:
1. View "Notes & Privacy" of TESTER2's profile and change the
permissions.
2. Immediately click *[<]* to return to TESTER1's friend list.
3. Immediately hover over TESTER2's name.
* *Observed:* Sometimes you still see the old permissions.
* *Observed:* If this happens, as long as you keep
hovering, they won't update.
4. Move the mouse off the friends list.
5. Re-hover the mouse cursor over TESTER2's name.
* *Observed:* Now the visible icons correspond to the new
permissions.
Interestingly, when TESTER2 hovers over TESTER1's name while TESTER1
changes the "Edit, delete or take my objects" permission, TESTER2
will see the corresponding icon appear/disappear without having to
un-hover and re-hover.

Yes, I noticed that when finally testing your build myself today. This
is of course much better than in tool tips, because like this the icons
are visible immediately on mouse-over. :-) While that makes it less
pressing, I still stand by my wish below:

I don't really see the use case for the option to *not show* the icons
even *when hovering*. Maybe the above could be solved by replacing it
with an option to *show* the icons even *when not hovering*?
