67278 - Footer lines need separation

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, enhancement)

Description

[Alan Shields]

The footer at the bottom tends to get pretty disgusting after a few remembered
queries.
Proposed solution is attached. It turns the bottom into a row along the format of:

New | Query | Find | My Votes
My Bugs | <remembered queries>
Edit Prefs | Log out

This definitely helps with multiline remembered queries, might offer easier
expansion in case we want to add more later.

Nice idea, although the size of the footer grows significantly.
I've tried it out on my installation, and it seams to work.

But there's one thing I nocticed: you're opening (or closing) the <table> and
<form> tags in the wrong order, like this:

<table><form> [...content...] </table></form>

whoopsy. Minor messup. Thanks for noticing Stephen. Patch submitted.

I like this idea, but I think you should merge the Edit Prefs line into the
first line since there's plenty of room.

I'm not really concerned with the extra line because it's an the bottom of the
page and would contribute negligible extra loading time.

Okay, as to this patch, I COULD make the Edit Prefs line and the Actions line
into a small table, instead I kludged it with %s. They seemed okay with me, and
I'd suggest sticking with this until we do CSS.

You're never going to believe this, but I forgot to fix something. The columns
weren't overlapping properly. Here's the fix.

I like the concept of the patch but I find it visually disturbing. When I 
applied it to the trunk, I got.
--------------
Actions:                                       New | Query |  bug #  |
                                               ReportsEdit prefs, parameters,
                                               sanity check, users, components,
                                               groups, keywords | Log out

Preset Queries:                                MyBugs
------------

Could we not just have the old action line and then a row of queries?
----------

New | Query | (blah blah blah)
Named query 1
Named query 2
Named query 3

Erg.  Matty marked this for 2.12, but I'd rather not go there at this point.
I'll mark it for 2.16 (the next non-security release) so it should be one of the
patches that gets applied right after the 2.14 security release.

Much better. Checked into trunk. Thanks for the work (and rework) of the patch.

Verified, this is nice and dandy for me on b.m.o for N4 and Moz.
