Subject: bug#19368: 25.0.50; NSM prompt is not self-explanatory enough
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2014 16:39:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <83bnn762d6.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
To reproduce:
emacs -Q
M-x eww RET www.google.com RET
Click on the "Sign in" link
The NSM shows a buffer with description of why it failed to verify the
certificate of accounts.google.com, and prompts in the minibuffer like
this:
Continue connecting? (No, Session only, Always)
It expects me to press either N, S, or A, but that is not clear enough
from the prompt.
I suggest to change the prompt to something like this:
Continue connecting? ([N]o, [S]ession only, [A]lways)
Alternatively, the first letter could be underlined (assuming we can
rely on every supported terminal to be able to display underlined
characters).
