Comment 4 for bug 800361

Thanks very much for the videos! Here are a few thoughts:

 * Expanders seem finicky given you're just showing a couple more
words or often nothing more at all. Why not just always show the
person's relevant affiliations? If we want to avoid people
accidentally assigning to the wrong person it seems pretty important
it be easy to just notice this.

 * Needing to expand to select someone seems like a step backwards:
one more click, and not especially accomplishing much.

 * Text saying "click to select" is pretty odd (to put it politely) in
a web application. Normally you would click on the object you want to
select, or click on a radiobutton or similar control next to it.

 * A specific consquence of "click to select" is that the active area
you have to hit is relatively small and doesn't have a clear boundary.

 * Some parts of Launchpad are click-to-choose, and some are
click-to-select and then you separately submit the choice. It would
be nicer to really solve that.

 * It seems a bit redundant to have a text field with a link next to
it that brings up a popup with another text field that does
essentially the same thing.

Following mpt's suggestion of considering multiple solutions, another would be:

Get rid of the 'choose' link and the popup window. Let people type in
the person field directly, and show a drop down menu of matching
names, with the exact match first, and decorated with affiliation,
email, and other information.

Then the typical "I know what I want" is just to type "mpt <enter>"
but along the way I'll get some confirmation it's the right mpt, and
if I have not got it quite right, I can scroll further down the list.
