Description Mike.lifeguard 2009-05-11 20:57:22 UTC 
Please don't put the tag filter input box on it's own line - there is plenty of space to use on:
*Special:Contributions: put it after the month selector but before the Go button
*Special:RecentChanges: put it after the namespace selector
*If it appears anywhere else, please double-check you're making good interface choices.

Assigning to Andrew to peek at when available.
Comment 2 Niklas Laxström 2009-05-15 08:04:46 UTC 
The problem here is that extensions can add their own filters (at least in Special:RecentChanges), and there is no general way to make it pretty.
Comment 3 Andrew Garrett 2009-07-03 13:16:41 UTC 
What Niklas said. I need to make this generic, and that means finding the best compromise that looks the best on the most pages.
Comment 4 Andrew Garrett 2009-07-16 16:47:51 UTC 
Marking this bug as Lowest priority.

I've done this in a batch to (usually enhancement request) bugs where:
* It is not clear that this bug should be fixed.
* It is not clear how to fix this bug.
* There are difficulties or complications in fixing this bug, which are not justified by the importance of the bug.
* This is an extremely minor bug that could not be fixed in a few lines of code.

If you're interested in having one of these bugs fixed, your best bet is to write the patch yourself.
