Comment 413 for bug 532633

@Mark

I don't know if this is the right place to give you data on those 3 items, but at the moment there doesn't seem to be a more suitable medium, so here we go:

1. I prefer to have "Select windows when the mouse moves over them" (or focus-on-hover), so my mouse is all over the place. I rarely close a window, but i do maximize and minimize allot.

2. well..not *allot* of accidental closes, but enough to get me to pay more attention to what I am clicking. I do however (even now):

 - maximize when i want to actually minimize
 - minimize when trying to maximize

This happens mostly because i use Lucid at home and Hardy at work. We will continue to use Hardy until it is no longer supported. We try to avoid changing things in the workplace that don't *really* need changing (saves time and money).

3. For the first 10-30 minutes, every time i want to use the window controls, i go to the right first, and then remember that...they moved :). After that i consciously make the decision to move to the left (knowing that the buttons moved), and take great care on what i click. So it is not effortless. I have to think about what I'm doing, or i might close the window, lose some work and go out and buy a pound of ice-cream to ease my frustration. It does impact productivity on some scale.

At least at this point in time, taking into account the time i have spent in lucid (2-3 hours a day starting with Beta1), i feel uncomfortable with the change. This happens mainly because i have to get accustomed to the new order every time i get home from work. Its even more annoying when i try to find the controls on the left side in Hardy, because i have gotten used to them in Lucid. It is frustrating when a simple task like maximizing,minimizing and closing requires you to think about *how* to do *what* you want.

Hope this helps a bit!

Best regards,
Gabriel
