This has driven me nuts ever since Communicator came out. Back with Netscape Gold the positioning was three seperate buttons. When Communicator came out they integrated it into one list button. I have wasted a long time just remembering to click on that stupid button to get the list of three other buttons so I can position my text. Could you please split it in to three seperate buttons on the button toolbar?

This is a feature request which I think we should seriously consider for the 5.0 version of Communicator. It will make setting alignment more intuitive and obvious for all users. Reassign to kostello@netscape.com for further reassignment.

Let me know if this is a feature enhancement you would like to see for the Editor UI.

We explored this during our usability testing last year and found that users didn't object much, especially when they understood it was done to reduce the total number of buttons in the toolbar. I don't think changing this is desireable, especially since we will have to use it for Ender, where we really need to conserve horizontal toolbar space

Yes, usability testing did explore this a little over a year ago. I wouldn't characterize the results as a success (not that it was a failure either). The recommendation was to separate it back into three buttons. We're not going to be able to explain to each user why it's a popup/combobox widget rather than 3 buttons (which every other app uses). We really shouldn't reimplement this in a popup/combobox; it should be more consistent with other apps that allow users to manipulate alignment. My recommendation: We should be sure that the default UI for Ender 5.0 has alignment split into 3 buttons (or we should remove alignment from the toolbar altogether).

change product to NGLayout

Akkana, this is a feature request. Let's talk what is involved to make this work.

UI decision, probably more suited to Charley.

Toolbar real estate is very valuable. We made this decission and did not get major objections during useability testing. The default for Seamonkey will probably be a dropdown. P.S. There are keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+L, Ctrl+E, and Ctrl+R for left, center, and right. Even better than the toolbar.
