[Matthew Paul Thomas <mpt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have discussed this with the interaction designer for the setup
(Andreea), the visual designer for the setup (Grazina), and a visual
designer for System Settings (Olivia), and we all agreed that the
designs should be the same.

Currently the setup design spec (a) is not public, (b) doesn't have a
separate "Location" step at all, and (c) is over a year out of date,
because it was written by a designer who stopped working on Ubuntu about
March 2014. <https://goo.gl/NPCEit> Its only revision so far this year
is a comment, from me before I realized that last point, asking why the
location setting was presented differently from System Settings! A new
setup design spec is being written, but it will take a while -- it is
trying to cover both phone setup and PC installation, and PC
installation is highly complex.

Waiting for that is not necessary nor even useful for fixing this bug.
The "Location access" step of the setup is already not following any
design spec that I'm aware of (b), so you can't even complain that
fixing the bug would introduce divergence between the code and the
design.

Title:
  Location settings inconsistent between first-run setup + System
  Settings

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 15.04 r35

  1. Go through the first-run setup, paying particular attention to the "Location" step.
  2. In System Settings, open "Security & Privacy" > "Location access".

  What you see:
  1. The options are presented using checkboxes.
  2. Exactly the same options are presented using an ItemSelector.

  What you should see: The options are presented in exactly the same
  way, except for their color scheme, on both screens. Any design
  changes always show up on both screens.

  This bug occurs because the screens are implemented separately:
  <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity8/trunk/view/head:/qml/Wizard/Pages/50-location.qml#L58>
  <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~system-settings-touch/ubuntu-system-settings/trunk/view/head:/plugins/security-privacy/Location.qml#L93>
  Even if the implementations were synced, it is almost inevitable that sometime later, designers and/or engineers would forget to update one when updating the other.

  It may save time to fix bug 1388178 at the same time as this bug.

  The equivalent for Wi-Fi settings is bug 1467438.
