Contact preview window should be vertical instead of horizontal

[Arnaud Dessein]

Binary package hint: evolution

This is a "wish", not a bug.

In Evolution Contacts one can create a preview window pressing Ctrl+M or in menu View > Contact Preview.

The window appears under the contact list. I think it is not convenient at all and that it would be better if the window could appear on the right of the list ("Portrait" orientation if you know what I mean).

Thank you.

Arnaud

the wishlist should be sent to the software writters on bugzilla.gnome.org

[Arnaud Dessein (arnaud.dessein)]

Thank you Michael for your reply.

Sébastien Bacher told me that "the wishlist should be sent to the
software writters on bugzilla.gnome.org".

On the other hand the link https://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ rises the
error "SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible
length.". Maybe I should try latter.

What should I do with my suggestion then ? bugzilla or brainstorm or
both ?

Best regards,

Arnaud

the request is a simple software wishlist so rather bugzilla.gnome.org

[Michael W. Koehler (mkoehle1)]

Arnaud,

       You should send your suggestion upstream to the gnome developers at bugzilla.gnome.org. Thanks!
