This phrase is key. > "Checkboxes and radio buttons are honestly used pretty sparingly > in elementary OS, > and even more sparingly together. When they are used, it’s fairly obvious > from context whether it’s a multi-select or exclusive-select situation." As <a href="http://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=100290" name="attach_100290" title="Sample Document">attachment 100290</a> <a href="http://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=100290&action=edit" title="Sample Document">[details]</a> shows, we don't have control over whether the use of radio buttons or checkboxes will be obvious from the context - since these are user-created items. Nor could we claim that they are sparingly used. And I strongly disagree this this is just "historical differences for those subtly different behaviours". The distinction is not subtle at all.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
