Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 69410
Misplaced click on Reset button causes data loss
Last modified: 2017-05-20 09:42:43 UTC
After entering a long description on the "Enter Issue" form (http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi), I accidentally clicked "Reset" instead of the "Submit issue" button right next to it, causing loss of the entire description. While this is totally MY FAULT, it would be a lot friendlier to a) spatially isolate the "Submit" button from the other two "management" actions (and especially the destructive "Reset" action), and/or b) Make the Submit and Reset buttons extremely distinct in appearance. The current design goes to some lengths to make the three buttons visually similar and easy to mix up. Many works on web design recommend that a "Reset" button should not even be included, as it makes it easy to lose work and the function can be achieved by re-loading or re-navigating to the form page.

I don't know how Bugzilla frontend looked when this issue has been submitted - currently we do not have a Reset button.
