Description tobias.gritschacher 2014-10-14 08:57:00 UTC
Input boxes for empty labels and descriptions should be in edit-mode by default. That saves an additional [edit] click for users.

How is that supposed to behave? Do you have an edit mode without being in edit mode? Do you trigger edit mode for all labels and descriptions when starting to type in an empty box?
The idea of having some kind of mixed edit mode would create additional complexity. The pain is that the current state is an inconvenient intermediate step towards implementing the new UI. We could either rewind and put changing edit mode of the "In other languages" into a greater UI change. However, that would create additional work - not just for rewinding. Huge changes do not really fit into the development process (pointing at merge conflicts). We should rather focus on moving on to switching to the new UI priorizing on the steps removing inconveniences created on the way first.
In my opinion, an intermediate solution for an intermediate solution like this bug is proposing is not pointing into the right direction. :-/
