Context for Random and checkbox position

[pavelevap]

We should have context for "Random", because its meaning was changed a little:

1) Order by: "Random" (one of dropdown options in Links widget)

2) "Random" - New checkbox for galleries (before it was also dropdown option).

And I am not sure if checkbox should be centered? See attached screenshot.

The "Random" string was used in the same situation in 3.4 — links widget and galleries. Can we get away with releasing 3.5 then splitting this string in 3.6? Are you asking because it is imperative to split this string in your language, or are you asking because other translators might need it?

Go with the translation for "Random" that makes sense for galleries. The Links widget instance is fairly well hidden, and the widget is disabled for new installs anyway.

"Random" string was used in other situation for galleries in 3.4. It was also in dropdown widget, so suggested context change was not needed. But in 3.5 context was changed, so it is some kind of regression. Now there is not "Sorted by: Random" (so it can be asked How?), but only Random (a different meaning, noun). It is problem in my language, but may be also in other languages, I guess... But I am not sure, maybe we could ask some other users.

No problem waiting for 3.6, but there were too many changes after string freeze that it could also happen in 3.5.

It's one string and it makes a difference. I vote for pushing it to 3.5 and warning the polyglots.

Add context to the 'Random' string. It is now used in two places: gallery order and the links widget. props pavelevap, fixes #22724.

As requested. Thanks guys.

I had put out a request for comments here: ​http://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2012/12/04/there-has-been-a-request-to-split-a/

Nice, thank you, nacin!

And what about checkbox position? Shoud be centered? Please see attached screenshot.

Or should I reopen this ticket?

22724.patch​ is an attempt to fix the checkbox position.

There is already a .media-sidebar .setting input[type="checkbox"] { rule specifying margin-top: 10px. Can we combine them?

Please see attached screenshot.

There's no attached screenshot. When does this occur? It looks fine for me and koopersmith in Chrome.

Okay, Firefox.

Latest fixes vertical alignment a bit. Otherwise, solid.

22724.3.diff​ looks good in LTR and RTL.

In 23034:

Media: Fix vertical and horizontal alignment of the gallery "Random" checkbox, and checkbox settings in general. Includes RTL. props koopersmith. fixes #22724.

[23034] also fixed #22737, accidentally.

Checkbox is damaged in IE9. Could you please test it somebody? See attached screenshot.

I guess IE must apply height to checkboxes. A little speechless.

22724.diff​ is about as consistent as I can get it. It sits a little low in Opera and a little lower yet in FF on OSX, but Chrome, IE, and FF on the PC all look great, which is to say the majority will see it looking pretty.

My blessing, have it.

Media views: Better checkbox positioning. props helenyhou. fixes #22724.
