Remove avatars inside of the document about documents HOT 10 CLOSED

Totally agree, also see #30
The colored cursor and the sidebar are enough to indicate.

There are only a few colors that the human eye can distinguish on a thin vertical line at a glance, so...
an alternative suggestion - avoid avatar images over the cursors, but use full name labels instead like in some other collaborative editing apps.

Most of the time it's equal to me who edit a specific part. I just want to know that someone is in the same area. Therefore I'm fine with just a colored cursor.

Yeah, in this case it’s actually good perception-wise that it’s not too present. Full-name labels would be annoying as well. It’s a collaborative editor and people should be able to focus on what they write, not see a bunch of dancing faces over the text.

Is it a duplicate of #30 ?

@VicDeo Not completely because #30 is just for the avatar of the current user

Ok, they are hidden by default

Thanks

An alternative to this could be to make it so that when you click on an avatar, the view jumps to where the cursor of that person is. Hover on an avatar would highlight the cursor.
But that would me much more work to implement for probably not much gain.

@PVince81 Short story: js editor component is a part of big project developed upstream. It has some patches already but patching should not be a common practice to prevent headaches while downstreaming.
