When a idea is marked as implemented or in development all the solutions are marked as such. This is surely not true and misleading in most cases.

Everytime when you are working on a spreadsheet of OOo and you need to choose a custom color for a background of a cell (for example), you must navigate throug a lot of menus like tools > options > colors and substitute an color by your new.
I belive that this operation is a little unproductive.

Currently, if a package/the system is being upgraded, loss of power can bring the system to non-booting state because of half-upgraded/half-installed packages (especially the system ones).

currently when using the right click menu there are only two options:
- Uncheck all
- Check all

Sometimes there are quite a few updated and I would like to install only the updates from the security fixes repository.

When double clicking on an .exe-file in a newly installed Ubuntu system, the archive manager will show up with an error message.

There are two points:
- New users don't know that Wine exists.
- The current model breaks the work flow and gives no information on how to proceed.

The suggested infobox would give the average user the opportunity to install the selected Windows program easily using Wine, and inform him about how software is usually installed.

It was my opinion that firefox used a bit too much screen space in the netbook remix. Together with the gnome panel on top, the bookmarks bar and status bar, it takes up a lot of the limited vertical resolution of a netbook screen.

The main goal I would like to achieve with this is to give the user by default a browser that is much more usable within the tiny space of a netbook screen. I feel that tweaking the Firefox interface is almost as important as the custom taylored menu screen people see when they start their operating system, since the web browser is probably the single most used application. I believe it would add greatly to making a functional and pleasant to use netbook distribution.

Ubuntu printing can be improved through smarter usage and available functionality.

It would definitely save time for those people that are using the internet a lot for research purposes and they have to print a lot of what they see to refer back onto it for a later time.

A person saves time and stress with not having to retype the same thing over and over again. As time passes by over countless years, this does sum up to quite some significant time for those hardcore researchers, readers, lawyers, technical people who need to have reference back when they lose internet to solve some difficult sophisticated problems in which you must refer back because there are so many elements to it, academics, archivers, people interested in their finance, and historians or even regular people who just want a little bit more convenience and less monotony. It sums up to even more, when you consider all of the millions of Linux users out there, which is growing with time.

It takes time to highlight that output.pdf and erase the "output" and replacing it with the title you want to name the printout. It is one step lower in efficiency.

If you are printing out a lot of things with similar titles like with a keyword/tag in it like "physics" or "news", you don't have to delete the stuff that comes after it, like for example, "physics concept 1a.pdf" or "physics problem 2b.pdf". It is repetitive and you have to actually manually highlight and delete "concept 1a" and then replace it with "problem 2b", instead of just inserting into blank space "concept 2a", rather than the extraneous step of highlighting and deleting.

I like it the same style as it is now with its "theme" and "looks", so it does not need to look like a totally different thing, like a print window with your favorite color or a fancy background image like the desktop uses scenery wallpapers. That is optional, but if people want more, then it is perfectly okay to do that just for aesthetics and making it look prettier, livelier, and different for some.

It's all about customization and options and this is what I believe can give Ubuntu a more pleasing look and advantage over using Windows 7. With Windows, it would either print out the same title as the web page by default if you don't manually rename it, or if you do change it, the printed pdf is corrupted and it doesn't print everything right.

When one opens a thread in the Ubuntu forums, there is only one choice for closing that thead: SOLVED.

This does not cover all the possible situations in which one may find oneself closing a thread.

For example, it would be wrong indeed to close a thread as SOLVED if in the end a bug report were filed. Also, if you created a workaround in lieu of a solution SOLVED again seems inappropriate.

When a distracted user try to install packages in synaptic, with less space than needed, and it end during packeges installation, isn't properly easy fix synaptic, for a newbie.
