Job Wolters October 13, 2022

As our production is messed up with version 9.2 (many problems with the Activity tab) we are consider to update to 9.3. However suddenly all userfields show up an information button where you have to click instead of getting is info by hover over.

I couldn't find anything in the releasenotes and have already disabled the User Profile addon. Nothing will changed. Is this a new feature and can we change back to the hover over option? It is annoying al these blue information icons.

I couldn't find anything about this in Release Notes either, which is bothersome. And the functionality as primarily worse, in my opinion.
- The user information is now a click away, instead of just hover.

- The behavior is inconsistent, as the icon doesn't exist in for instance "Watchers". There you still hover the name to get the additional information.

 

But the most bothersome part is that the icon is pretty intrusive on dashboard and search results. The use case is FAR more common that I just want know "Assignee" or "Creator" in my overviews, but extremely rarely do I want additional information on the user. For the icon to take up additional screen space everywhere a user is shown is just a inefficient space usage and steals focus from what I actually want to see.
