1531117 - Improve “dismiss this announcement” UX

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: User Interface, enhancement)

Description

[Kohei Yoshino]

We need a close button on top of Dylan’s implementation done in Bug 1500441.

Oh, I had no idea that it's been dismissable for a while, you just had to click on it :)

Also: looks like the dismissed announcement reappears after a certain period of time. The server-side session cache might be cleared randomly or periodically? I’d still prefer a client-side implementation.

Another UX enhancement: if you’re opening multiple bugs in browser tabs, the announcement should be hidden from all the bugs at once. It can be implemented using the Broadcast Channel API.

we just need to increase the session time. 1 hour is pretty terrible as a default, and would be very annoying when we move login cookies to the mojolicious session.

[:glob ✱]

The current implementation means if a banner has a link, clicking on that link also closes the banner.

As I have a habit of clicking on links to open in the background before I've finished reading the full content (a hangover from my days of slow internet), more than once this has resulted in me unable to read the full message.

I also think the banner, once closed, should never reappear.

This has been implemented in another changeset.

Comment 7

[Kohei Yoshino]

Not fixed yet. The banner needs a close button as said in the initial comment, otherwise it’s difficult to know that it can be closed.

Comment 8

[Kohei Yoshino]

The current implementation is rather problematic because the banner will be closed when you click anywhere on it even before you read the important message.

Maybe also do something that you can't acknowledge on first few loads (when you are using bugzilla for the first time, you might chase after reporting your bug, rather than reading it).
