And why the choice and the selected item are misaligned?

comment Alternatives to selecting valid value from a list of items
Also, why do you have to click a link saying click to assign instead of just clicking anywhere in the div will enable the editor.

A few questions: do you really have to always have the options on the right? Can't you just use combo boxes?

comment Discard Changes/Cancel behaviour in a web app
Also, and I'm being picky here, just notice that the underline for links is considered ugly by many designers. Just look on the links on this page (they do get an underline when you hover over - other then the top tabs, but personally I think the pointer cursor is sufficient)

comment Discard Changes/Cancel behaviour in a web app
As a side note, I wouldn't use links for actions like cancel simply because it is an action and not really a link. You are thinking in 'programmer terms' here, where your cancel could well be a <a> link to the origin page. But cancel and view 1 are not the same in the view of the user (although both might be links to a page); save and cancel are related in user minds.

comment Discard Changes/Cancel behaviour in a web app
Given that cancel and discard differ in outcome, I don't see why the styling shouldn't different. More so as there's a different styling to the save button anyway - so I would actually say that a styled save next to a discard link is less consistent than having both styled.

comment Right mouse click, choose delete on website
I would also consider a sliding editor rather than a dialog - the latter being more fashionable with desktop applications, but not as much with web ones.

comment Right mouse click, choose delete on website
I'm in much agreement with this view, and would go with option 1 - click = show editor. Just wanted to add that the benefit in having a delete option in the dialog is three-fold: 1) You're saving the space of a button in the toolbar (tiny bit of info for the eye to deal with); 2) Users are two clicks away from deleting something, instead of one (safer, less chance of accidental mouse click); 3) The button on the editor can say 'Delete' where on the toolbar it would normally show 'X'.

comment Why did microsoft designers place an arrow at the right top of the windows phone home screen? What would be the UX logic?
If you allow me to give a contrasting view: I think it was a stupid decision to put it there and waste all that space below. There are far less wasteful, standard and more composition-attentive solutions to what they were trying to achieve. In other words, Apple UI designers would be laughing seeing this. I'm not working for Apple, but I find it hard to imagine myself looking at this and going 'good idea'.
