The discussion revolves around an update to the “Require Category Copy” feature. debryc suggests adding tips on how to select a category, including an arrow image, and keeping the category selection menu highlighted when someone clicks on the compose box. They also propose a friendlier copy: “Select a category before typing here.” codinghorror agrees with the idea of using fewer words and updates the copy accordingly. However, they are hesitant to add a unicode arrow (↑) to the copy, considering it too much. The topic of keeping the category selection menu highlighted is noted as a minor consideration for @joffreyjaffeux to review.
Wonderful! What do you think about having an arrow, too, or keeping the category drop-down menu highlighted even when someone clicks on the compose window?
