Feature Request - Make error messages disappear automatically

Open kn0wmad opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Error messages never disappear if not closed by user. It would be nice if they eventually timed out in my opinion

UX of this is superior, except that the user may lose critical information regarding the error, which in turn could make our ability to do support worse.

Anything that cannot afford to be lost should be issued as a notification or persisted in some section of the UI that is out of the way. If we are relying on information retention we shouldn't be doing it by depending on a modal not dismissing itself.

This is a different issue, but related:

tldr: This is probably another feature request where an error message needs to close any still-open previous error message. Currently new errors get buried under any prior error left open.
