 Replying to [comment:3 goldfire]:

 I'm sure the fix -- that is, redesign -- for that ticket and this one will
 be the same, but I think it's worth leaving both tickets open, as the
 examples are slightly different.

 Duplicates tickets slow down sweeps of the bug tracker. Since #7296
 references this ticket, I think it's safe to close this one. Yell if you
 disagree!
