Dear Inkscape,
These are the results from todays user testing at SpinachCon 2016 here in Boston:
* Selecting objects is hard when there are transparent areas * Double clicking often hit mistakenly * Tools for text are hard to find compared to other tools (no context when text and path selected for example) * Text did not indicate it's text alignment when changed (user was confused) * Tried to drag the text node (which indicates the text alignment) * Colour wheel was hard to use (dragging attempted) * Completing an object (the final node) was difficult in 80% of cases creating false endings in most cases. * Clicking wrong option in text menu resulted in text disappearing (Fit in box, rather than put on path)
No LPEs or other advanced features tested
New items: * New rendering order UI: all users used icons to select the requested rendering order quickly. Line cap and corner style uneffected. * Fixed unit text line height was still a bit buggy, but worked ok. Units reverted to pixels which confused users.
I've formatted the items for ease of reading.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
