Bugs/Issues Blocking v0.19 Release (+ WB/Addon devs check-in about Roadmap for 0.19 release)

[saso]

It is not a critical issue, but I would find it as a nice usability improvement if we could Pan support with mouse in the Dependency graph view, and I am guessing that it would not be to much of an effort to add it?

Pan support with mouse in the Dependency graph

I believe there is an issue open for this already? Care to find it?

Please don't let this topic get degraded to a wish list for 0.19. It is about blocking issues, and time is running as we get more and more requests because AddonManager is broken in 0.18.
If 0.19 will take much longer I would like to see the fix backported.

Good point. Another thread can be created for this. Thanks for keeping us on task @chrisb

... decluttering the bugtracker.

Isn't the choise of wording a bit patronizing, would you say?
I do not consider my issues as clutter and I'm sure few of the other issuers think of their issues as clutter either.
.
Further, my issues in your lists are not sorted but they are not marked as "everyone must stop what they are doing and fix this immediately", i.e. they can't possibly be show stoppers for 0.19. So how did you come to the conclusion that the issues in your lists are clutter?

Oh yea... I can see your point. I assure you I didn't mean to come across as diminishing or sounding pejorative. I especially don't think of your contributions as clutter. My thinking is that of triage (a buddhist would say I am thinking like a do-er and not being). I see a bunch of tickets and get them where they need to be.

Technically though, there is and has been clutter in the bugtracker, unfortunately. And that is because many users don't follow our guidelines for how to open a ticket. There are many cases when they just open a ticket without reading the annoying large yellow banner at the top of the bugtracker page. Many tickets aren't created because they are solved in the forum itself and that is what we want to emphasize. But users circumvent this issue for 1 reason or another. There are also 'Rage Tickets' where users are infuriated and offended (perhaps because they feel entitled?) by FCs 'poor' UI or <insert your FC pet peeve here>. I would consider that clutter as the definition you describe above. Honestly triage is tedious and annoying sometimes. But we need to do it to move things forward.

Nevertheless, thanks for the reminder. I hope to remember this in the future even if I'm in my 'do-er' mind.

Edit: typos
Edit2: went back and edited the offending posts.
