Paper Cuts (annoyances in the interface)

[gregjan]

This is a catch-all issue where we can inventory all the minor "paper cuts" present in the UI and track their resolution. No issue is too small. The idea here is that even small annoyances in an interface can add up to an experience that is unpleasant or confusing.

The term "paper cuts" in this context was invented by the team that develops Ubuntu Linux: https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

For our purposes let's report anything here as a paper cut that seems small but annoying in the interface for the workbench.
