300925 - "Close" label on button is misleading (Software Update "Downloading Update" dialog)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

When downloading an update the Software Update "Downloading Update" dialog
provides a "Close" button. This button closes the dialog, but the download
continues as a background thread.

The label "Close" is misleading, and may be misinterpreted as a request to close
the dialog and cancel the Software Update process (see bug 300089, which I think
is somewhat affected by this)

Suggest relabelling the button as "Hide", which more clearly expresses what the
user is doing.

Yeah, "Hide" sounds nice to me too.

NOTE: Downloads are not canceled when you close the Download Manager UI.  Hrm...
it would seem that these dialogs should be consistent.

The general download manager case has been logged as bug 303011, and we should
probably keep 'em as seperate issues for now.
