> The text will be very helpful. Maybe we can also display the text (minus
the tooltips) as a tooltip or popup when the user mouses over the labels.
That way they can see what a setting will do without actually moving the
slider.
Good idea. I implemented it as tooltips.
bug_9387_v7 in my public Torbutton repo has the fix for the lacking slider
settings descriptions. One small thing I am not happy about it he possible
tiny misalignment of the slider position label and the slider thumb.
Mozilla did not implement a natural way of showing a label yet (see:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/XUL:Slider_Tag for the idea). I tested on
different Windows and Linux systems and OS X 10.6.8 and I think we can
live with that for now especially as getting that properly done from
extension land might be not easy.
It turned out we forgot some strings in our descriptions in comment:82. I
adjusted the things in comment:43 which reflects the implementation in
bug_9387_v7 now. I folded the MathML related work done in #13548 into it.
Let me know if anything does not make sense.
