Description Jeffrey 2011-01-18 20:12:12 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

Current Mouse Keys dialog is very unclear in what it is asking:
> Do you really want to activate 'Mouse Keys'?
> An app has requested to change these settings...
> When a gesture is used: [Drop down with options]
>  [Yes]  [No]

This current dialog makes the [Yes][No] buttons seem to act on what the user picks for the drop down, and NOT for answering the question at the top of the dialog.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Get KDE to ask if you want to use mouse keys.  Read the first sentance, read the rest and forget about the first sentence by the time you reach the end.  Select something from the dropdown and get confused as to what the [Yes][No] buttons are for.

Actual Results:  
 Select something from the dropdown and get confused as to what the [Yes][No] buttons are for.

Expected Results:  
The TOP of the dialog should read:
> Mouse Keys Activation
> An app has requested to change these settings...
> Do you really want to activate Mouse Keys?
> [Yes][No]

There should then be a separator and the BOTTOM part of the KDE dialog should read,
> Change these settings: when a Mouse Keys gesture is used in the future:
> [Drop down with current options]
> You can change these settings in KDE's System Settings > ____

While I think this is an important tool for some people, it seems to have just been thrown together with all of the text on top and the buttons on the bottom, without any thought as to what is being asked and the order of the buttons and information.

I think what people (who DON'T need this tool) would do here is to set via dropdown 'Disable AccessX', and then click [Yes] thinking they're disabling AccessX/Mouse Keys when they're really answering the first sentence, 'Do you want to enable Mouse Keys'.
