User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060719 Firefox/1.5.0.5
Build Identifier: 

It is a usability bug, where the user can not tell if the text can be expanded into boxes that can be written into.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://bugz.deanza.edu/bugzilla_testopia/.
2. Click on New Case and enter a test plan id.
3. Check the sections: "Set up", "Break Down", "Actions", "Expected Results".
4. When you click on these sections, they expand into boxes where you can type in.
5. Bug: However, there is no way to distinguish these sections from the rest of the content as they look just like the rest of the content.
6. Providing a link to these sections that distinguishes them from other content can make their usability better.

Attachment: "Set Up", "Break Down" etc. before clicking. When the cursor is brought near these texts, they remain unchanged, making it difficult to understand that they are expandable

When the text for "Set Up", "Break Down" etc. is clicked, it opens up a box in which the user can type. However, there is no way to tell that these are expandable texts as there is nothing that distinguishes them from the rest of the text on the site.

Archana--great find!  I had *no* idea until I read this bug report that one could click on those four titles to activate those sections!  Recall in class that I showed how you had to click on the Edit Document links.  This is a very good usability bug!

Fixed.

I added text (Double click to edit) and made the text below "Edit Document" into a link.
