561538 - The buttons in migration assistant look differently to other wizards

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Rimas Kudelis [use needinfo to ping]]

Attached is a screenshot of two wizards: Account Wizard and Migration Assistant running simultaniously. The buttons in Migration Assistant are noticeably smaller than in Account Wizard. I guess this wasn't intended.

Also note that Next and Previous buttons in MA don't have the arrows as is usual (note they are displayed as icons in Linux, but as > and < symbols in Windows).

Similar problem in Windows: button size is correct, but the font is too big.

I did point it out in my review, but clarkbw seemed to indicate this would be hard to fix. OTOH, we might be able to force some sort of style the same way we style the Mac buttons. Bryan?

Or maybe we should just make the buttons XUL instead of HTML.

Comment 5

[Rimas Kudelis [use needinfo to ping]]

Actually, I lied: the button size is incorrect even in Windows.

Also:
* the buttons don't have accesskeys
* no button is was focused by default

Please make them XUL, or even better use the same 'wizard' widget as is used buy the import wizard.

Mass-close of migration assistant bugs. The migration assistant has been removed in Thunderbird 15 (bug 735524) as it was no longer necessary.

Thunderbird 10 esr is the only currently supported version that still has the migration assistant, but that will be unsupported in about 7-8 weeks, and any issues with the migration assistant won't be fixed for TB 10 esr anyway.
