[Bug 1350801] [NEW] "I am a new Ubuntu One user" inappropriately uses a switch

 

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 14.10 r157

1. Navigate to System Settings > "Accounts".
2. If an Ubuntu One account is registered, remove it so that you can add one.
3. If you had to do that, and bug 1239618 isn't fixed yet, work around it by force-closing "Accounts" then reopening it.
4. Choose "Add account...".
5. Choose Ubuntu One".

What you see:
* A switch followed by the text "I am a new Ubuntu One user".
* Below the switch, the label "I am a returning user and my password is:"

This doesn't make sense:
* Switches are for nouns or noun phrases that you can turn on/off (Wi-Fi, Flight Mode, Spell checking, etc), not for clauses.
* The layout suggests that "I am a returning user and my password is:" will be present regardless of the state of "I am a new Ubuntu One user", which would be contradictory. (What actually happens is that the "I am a returning user and my password is:" label and field disappear, but this is itself surprising.)
* It's inconsistent with the Ubuntu One Web site.

What you should see:
* Radio buttons for "I am a new Ubuntu One user" and "I am a returning user and my password is", as seen on <https://login.ubuntu.com/+login>.
