Problem/Motivation
The form at the top of admin/people is currently a bit chaotic and confusing:
The local action to add a user is not clearly delineated from the rest of the form, and the difference between the exposed filters and the action selection isn't clear. Additionally, having the Apply button below its select box but the Filter button inline makes the form look sort of imbalanced.
Proposed resolution
We should add better visual and semantic separation between the three parts of this form
#1475204-17: [META] Provide a generic search/filter UI interface pattern for listing pages proposes a fairly dramatic overhaul to the interaction, but it would require significant API changes for exposed filters that are unlikely to make it into D8. Let's see if there's any semantic markup and layout adjustments we can make to make this more usable and accessible.
Remaining tasks
- Come up with a design (preferably just form/markup/CSS changes?).
- Create patch.
- Usability review
- Do accessibility testing.
- Apply the same pattern to admin/content.
