Sometimes one message like green "Sent" occupies that space, and a second one comes up *below* it like gray "Loading. . ." This doubling and sort of extra flashing/movement seems less like snazzy clean ajax magic, and a little more like noiz. Anyone else wish to see this area remain one at a time?
The question is, how much information does the user really need? Early versions of Roundcube hardly showed any confirmation messages, the user had to assume that the operation (e.g. moving, deleting) was successful unless an error message was displayed.
I personally prefer this silent-and-just-working solution but people obviously discovered that internet and web apps are not always reliable and thus want to be informed about what's going on.
BTW: you can hide the messages by clicking on them (except the loading notice) in case they cover some other UI elements.
Maybe we could display "Loading..." message in other way. Any ideas?
We're currently working on a redesign of the UI and the message display is one of the things to be improved. Hopefully our screen designer will come up with a snappy solution for this.
