[Koha] [Koha-devel] Requesting feedback on changing the default behavior for loading the OPAC cart popup

[Eric Phetteplace]

Hi Alex,

I asked our staff and the general consensus is that fewer clicks is better.
The click to open the cart is basically wasted—you can already see how many
items are in your cart, so the bubble tooltip doesn't offer new information.

My only comment would be I'm not thrilled with popup windows at all.
They're very awkward on most mobile devices, for instance. But that seems
beyond the scope of this particular bug.

Best,

ERIC PHETTEPLACE
