Usability: "Marking done" in Getting started hides all pages

[Bryce Harrington]

Thanks for gtg, I'm just starting to poke at it but looks quite cool.

I ran into one kind of embarrassing problem that I think is a usability issue. As a new user I was pleased to see the documentation provided as tasks (nice touch), clicked on the "Getting started with GTG, and read. I got to a line saying "Don't forget to mark this subtask as done!" since I finished the first page and planned to move on to the next.

Unfortunately this resulted in all of the pages disappearing (since they are subtasks). After searching around a bit, I found the Closed Tasks Pane, however in enabling it it was set with a height of 0 so I didn't notice it at first.

Perhaps the wording could be clarified to close subtasks first, or a confirmation "there are additional subtasks still open, are you sure you want to close this one?"

We should rewrite the text a bit. Probably noticing the user to "Mark the task as done once he has finished reading the documentation". I think putting a modal dialog to ask the user for confirmation will be annoying.

Fixed in rev.324

We added a more explicit explanation. Hope it will avoid future experiences like yours.
