Hi Caty,
Very happy to see progress in this area, this is a real pain to scroll to the bottom of
the document to save it, and there is a long time it is affecting us.
However, I am not really happy with your current proposal. I found the text area for the
version summary way too small for the purpose. It should IMO stay on a separate line in
order to be large enough. Since this not always useful, it might, however, be collapsed
somehow in certain circumstances.
I also wonder if just having some buttons on the top in addition to the bottom, wouldn’t
be simpler and as efficient, even if the top feature is limited (just save /
save&view). It might also work with your fixed bottom UI, that might also be more
limited than what you can do by scrolling.
I hope these are useful comments. I am also curious to see other opinions on this
important feature.
For me, the issue with the always-on-bar is that it takes up space and thus reduces the
available vertical space for editing content. Thus I find it interesting to have it on
only one line and also to only have it at the bottom and not repeat it at the top. I’d
really not like to see it at the top.
Thanks
-Vincent

Hi devs,
Some users have complained that when editing they don't know that they need
to scroll in order to see the Save buttons.
This is a proposal that tackles:
- Displaying the save buttons in a bottom area, when they are out of the
viewport, see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaVisibleSave/bottomB…
- Reorganizing the bottom zone in order to compact all the save functions
into a single bar
- When the user scrolls, the buttons go into their position, see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaVisibleSave/after.p…
For the whole proposal and more screenshots, see

WDYT?
Thanks,
Caty
