Bug #: 32727
Summary: Submitting a comment in BZ should keep you on the same
bug
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
I'm sure there is some kind of workflow reason for developers to have this
redirect behaviour, however it is unlike any kind of client or website I have
ever used (see email, forums, any other bug/help reporting system that deals
with end users).
It was incredibly confusing at first and invariably as a person reporting bugs,
I click back to the bug I posted to and ensure my comment rendered correctly
etc. This also means my tab is ready for me to refresh to check for updates (or
when I get an email without having to click a link and open yet another
window).
While developers are likely used to the behaviour now, and developers may find
it a convenience, it hampers communication with new users and makes filing bugs
confusing and hard to use.
We should be making it as easy as possible on the bug reporters, even if that
means a bit more work for the fixers.
