System name: m56-129-20
Type and version: SPARC/4 8.0J
Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
Enter the cluster
What's wrong:
The user interface of the numeric interface of the cluster
combo pad has been re-engineered in an apparent attempt to streamline
it. The resulting change in visual input data causes an observed
core-dump in many users, which prevents them from successfully
executing the sequence necessary for entry to the cluster.
What should have happened:
I should have been able to open the bloody door without having
to think about it!
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Just read any paper on pattern vs. numeric recognition, or
human factors in engineering design!
