(In reply to doug2 from comment #228) Hey doug2, thank you for your feedback, and sorry that you couldn't warm up yet with our new recipient area. > entering multiple addresses with return between now works in b2. Did not in b1. We're still working on improving this feature, please stay tuned. We do appreciate that it's a change which requires a bit of adjustment from the existing legacy layout. We are striving to deliver a new user experience which we believe will ultimately be significantly better, more versatile, and more efficient than the status quo. > "old" way with single address per line took 1 click to change from "to" to "cc", etc. > cut & paste is awkward in comparison. Well, it was two clicks, one to open dropdown, next to choose type. And if you wanted to change 50 existing recipients, that was 100 clicks - now that's truly akward if you ask me. Now you can easily change 100 recipients with 3 simple steps: Ctrl+A to select all of same type, Ctrl+X to cut, Ctrl+V to paste in the other row. I find that awesome. As Alessandro said, more methods like drag and drop are coming, and I am working with Alessandro to complete the mouse and keyboard selection experience. We also have bug 1609647 about offering a two-click way of changing recipient type from context menu of each recipient, which may ease the transition for your scenario. > I have never seen buttons to the far right. Been using mailers 35-40 years. Unix, windows, multiple other systems. Well, for now we've placed them there after careful consideration of pros and cons. Every UI design decision has them. You can now create a CC recipient with a single click on an openly available button, as opposed to carefully picking from a covert dropdown. They are also currently prime members of the tab focus ring, easy to reach with keyboard as Alessandro pointed out. If we put them to the right, others will say, why clutter the prime side with secondary options. Every change is a challenge to some extent, but no change spells doom... That said, please do not hesitate to file bugs for regressions, or specific proposals for improvement!
