I am using the EasyBlog 5 Composer for a client of mine. First of all, let me tell you that this newest version, with the Composer, is SPECTACULAR!! I love it!
Here is a usability issue I am struggling with. When configuring buttons in the Compser, the right-hand pane provides different button colors and sizes. Rolling over the button choices shows an immediate change in the Composer, giving a nice insight as to how the change will look. The issue is that, should the user roll out of the button selection area, the last rolled-over button is the one that is applied in the Composer. I believe it would be better to force the user to click to select the one they want, rather than this. Same hold true for the button sizes.
I know this may seem silly, but the frustration this causes is incredible. Users are not realizing that they have changed the button type/size until they post. I understand that they can look over to check their work, but it does not always happen. I even get frustrated when I move my mouse over to insert a hyperlink and accidentally move over the button choices. The Composer keeps changing the buttons, and it is extremely frustrating.
I was curious if anyone else has this issue, and if there is a way to have this feature changed?
Thanks!!
Rick
