Adding authors in Spip 1.9.2 feels awkard

Hello,

We've updated our SPIP installation to version 1.9.2 in order to cope with
some illegal instruction signal crashes. That went fine, but the system has
apparently changed.
To add an author to an article you have to click on the triangle next to
authors, as before. Then you have to click on the authors icon in order to
see the full list.
My users are confused by that behavior. Can I force the list to appear
immediately? Hacking the PHP or the HTML is not a problem...

Regards,
Bart

This search over the authors has been included for the situations
where there is a lot of authors available. I don't really know where
it's exactly specified in the code, but I suggest to to add a request
to the bug tracking system :
http://trac.rezo.net/trac/spip

(you must create an account for that)

I think that this comportment (based on AJAX) should be parametrable.

Thanks for your fast reply. It seems that indeed this is something that
happens when there are a lot of authors. I looked through the code and this
looks like a very complicated piece of Ajax, I can't find my way through
it.
I will try to post a ticket but I can't find the link to register, any ideas
where it is?

It's on the login form (not evident to find, I guess)

I was confused by the fact that a SPIP page could authorize me to trac.
Thanks for the information!
