Error message box too small #4

Open eugenecsa opened 2 years ago

eugenecsa commented 2 years ago

The error message box is too small for almost all the commands. This makes it hard to use the app with just the keyboard as user have to constantly use the mouse to scroll and read the error. This goes against the spirit of the app being optimized for use via the CLI.

Team's Response

UI layout limitation. Does not affect user experience significantly.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue severity

Team chose [severity.VeryLow] Originally [severity.Medium]

Reason for disagreement: While this has something to do with the UI layout, it is not a limitation. The team is aware of the size of the error message, and could have adjusted the message box to allow for full viewing of the message, or even allow the user to resize the box manually. However, none of that is done. Given the requirement for the app to be used by fast typists, and with minimal use of the mouse, it is a major inconvenience. The user has to manually scroll to read the messages, which can affect them in other tasks such as checking if the input is correct based on the success message, or reading the error.
