Actually, I disagree with adding "Start" separately to the secondary<br>
palette as this will appear redundant beneath the already existing<br>
"Start" label in the primary palette. The better solution (and I<br>
think, the expected behavior) is to make the primary palette clickable<br>
when the palette is anchored, such that clicking it enacts the action<br>
of the button it is attached to.</blockquote><div><br>I agree that this is how palettes should work (of course, not the issue here).<br><br>However, I don't understand your opposition to repeating the "start" option in the submenu. Any journal item already repeats the default option in this list; doing the same for activity bundles is only consistent. If we are going to change this, it is a separate patch.<br>

Regarding the other options, I think it would be clearer (albeit,<br>
admittedly, slightly more indirect) to place the list of available<br>
activities in a submenu labeled "Start with" to convey the action that<br>
selecting an activity will take. This would be true of the submenu<br>
regardless of whether or not the entry represents a bundle, leaving us<br>
in a state where the only difference between bundles and instances is<br>
the phrasing used within the menu. Otherwise, they are functionally<br>
identical.</blockquote><div><br>This is not a bad idea. Again, if you are serious about this, we should prioritize it and do it, as a separate patch; and I'd be happy to work through the options with you, in a separate thread.<br>
