That's not hint text; it's the default name of the device. If we made the default name of the device a header or left label, that would be really weird. After you changed the name, it would be visible in two places: the header/left label as well as the text field. I don't think we can do this, sorry. Zooming out, frankly I think this entire renaming UI is awkward and I'd prefer if we re-did it to be more like the one in the Bluetooth page. Here's my take on that: Bug 509932. |
Created attachment 184626 [details] form Renaming audio devices in the system to better ones shows a form that contains only hint-text in text fields. This is not recommended as users are prone to lose their place and need to recall information by removing information from the text field. Update form by featuring the current device name at the top as a header, and leave the text field empty. Feature a confirm or save button if necessary.
