Bug #: 40035
Summary: VisualEditor: Edit summary length counter confusing
when in bytes
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User Interface
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

Depends on: 39558
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Assuming we implement bug 39558. That means the counter in the corner of the
save dialog will be decreasing more than 1 per character on average.
English users will likely not notice it as quickly, but € (EURO SYMBOL) for
instance is 3 bytes. And in foreign languages it will be more common entirely.
Right now the counter has no unit, which would be confusing (the natural
expectation is to assume character count). We can add a unit word "# bytes"
instead. But I'm not sure that is an improvement, do we want to face users with
that?
