I'm changing it back to major, just to make a point (I agree with arma).
You seem to poo-poo this issue, and even try to make a point that it
shouldn't be fixed(!), but it's a MAJOR issue to people that use TBB,
even if it's not a big deal to you.''''' And it's more than minimize, the
bookmark features are mostly useless, as are the SSL window and the add-on
window, e.g., if I wanted to check the cert info, or if I wanted to add
BetterPrivacy to Windows TBB.'''''
This issue scares a lot of TBB users, and rightly so, it's quite egregious
and noticeable. What do you expect non-computer savvy people to think? I
for one wouldn't use TBB in it's current state if I didn't know what's
going on with this issue...
I will donate money to get this fixed, and keep it a major issue,if that
would help hire a Windows dev (if s/he is needed), even if for just this
single issue. I'm not sure how much it would cost, but I could send in
~>$500 next week, if that would help; even though that's not a lot of
money, it is to me, I'm not rich, but I fully understand how important it
is to get this bug fixed. I think some at Tor don't focus enough on the
useability of the software; that is, some Tor devs see the trees but not
the forest...
