I watch the terminal to make sure all goes well; I often catch problems that way. Defaulting to "close" would make it difficult to do this consistently. For short installs I might not even be able to click quickly enough to win the race. Please *don't* "fix" this by permanently defaulting to "close". Then instead of a minor inconvenience for many, it becomes a usability disaster for the few. I realize terminal output is logged somewhere so it isn't quite catastrophic, but if the terminal is unreliable because it disappears, you might as well just remove it completely. Which is not what I want. Most users do not apply this level of vigilence and truly *would* like the installer window to go away ASAP. Different users have different desires, or the checkbox wouldn't need to exist in the first place! So please fix it to remember the user's desired setting. -- Does not save settings for auto-close https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604610 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
