[Phpmyadmin-devel] Lock page navigation and dropdowns
Hi devs, as a follow-up to the last team meeting, regarding [0], should we lock the page when a dropdown has been modified on table Structure? Let's say I asked to create a table with 10 columns and took some time to set all columns types, default values, index info, browser transformation, etc via dropdowns, and then I click away: I am sorry to lose these changes without a warning.

if we try to improve the usage of server variables under the idea user interface developments, would it be an good idea. As for using server variables we always have to open the server and for even closing the server we have open the server.Would it be possible to make a change so that whenever server variables are used automatically server is opened and server is closed without opening a server.

Hi, I think that we should implement it on table structure page. Hugues.
Hi Marc, I think we should implement it for the drop-downs as well. I personally may have experienced such an incident one-two times while administering a database. But don't you think it might cause an unnecessary prompt every time I may have made just a slight change on the page. Can we add a setting to turn it off for other inputs like drop-downs, if its bugging the users too much ? On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 11:29 PM, Hugues Peccatte <hugues.peccatte@gmail.com

Personally, I think it is unnecessary and may be annoying when in a good proportion of cases user actually wants to navigate away maybe because he changed mind. Although if it is felt to be about user interface consistency that dropdowns should be treated on par with input fields, then I am okay with it.
