For someone new to the app, you don't immediately notice that you have a task in the task list because it is hidden in small text underneath the big search boxes. You immediately think you have to perform a search, even though you may not have to.

i'll take this to a separate thread.

I also think that should be left out.  At task-instance-creation-time, the task definition data is copied into the task instance data.  After that, the task instance data might be updated (e.g. description or name).  I don't think that showing the task definition information is relevant.

The good thing about 'End Task' is that it's from the perspective of the task performer.  'Proceed' has more meaning in the context of the larger business process.  But the task performer does not HAVE to be aware of that.  I was thinking of 'Finish' or 'Complete'  but none of those really hits it for me.

David, are you onto this one ?  Can you reproduce ?
