Comment #1 on issue 1031 by pekka.klarck: Log: Keep non-critical failed tests closed by default and differentiate them from critical failed tests
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1031

This is a good idea.

Just keeping the non-critical failed tests closed has a problem, though, as there is no way to tell from a closed test is it critical or not. If people aren't aware that non-critical ones are initially closed, then they will open them to check that out. Thus this enhancement may actually have a negative effect on usability.

To overcome the above problem, we need to make it easy to see is a closed test critical or not. We probably need to add word `critical` there in some format and could also consider different shades of red for critical and non-critical failures.

Notice that keeping non-critical tests closed is implemented already for RF 2.7 alpha 1. Differentiating critical and non-critical closed tests is left for alpha2 or beta1, whichever comes next.
