No solution, only sympathy, but I agree, what an unpleasant situation. You get me started I will go on and on about how much better our desktop environment could be if designers cared a little more about how things work, not just how they look.
unable to select/copy any arbitrary text(A major saving grace of the web app is that you can actually select text)
modal dialogs.
being able manipulate a lower window without raising it.
- alxlaz 4y agoYeah, tell me about it. My personal pet peeve is "crowded interfaces". Lots of modern facelifts attempt to solve the "clutter" problem by making the widgets larger and improving widget space and padding. Which does actually make the whole thing look nicer, and does make things easier to find to some degree... ...except it also reduces the document viewport, literally making the space I look at most of the time more cluttered just in order to get the part I almost never look at to look better. I swear to God the quality of modern interfaces would skyrocket if the people who design them had to learn how to use them first and just go through a project with them, start to finish. Bullshit like monochrome icons you can't tell apart and touch-sized widgets on professional workstations would evaporate in a matter of months.
