1564413 - Clicking a component in the "Browse" search box should open the bug list directly

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, enhancement)

Description

Please triage to proper component.

STR:

1. Click "Browse"
2. Search for a component in the search box.
3. Click it.

Expected:
The bug list of that component is opened.

Actual:
The component gets highlighted (see attached screenshot) and an extra click is needed to open the bug list.

This is a pretty minor annoyance, but it's been bugging me for awhile and I finally figured it was worth filing a bug for it.

This is an obvious UX issue I’m aware of.

The current behaviour is correct, sort of. What’s wrong here is the “Browse” label, because the main purpose of these pages is literally describing components as the URL (describecomponents.cgi) and title (Which product and component would you like to have described?) say. it’s a weird part of Bugzilla.

In the future, these pages will be replaced with the product/component dashboards. You will also be able to open the bug list of a specific component from the new quick search bar.

Excellent, thanks! Feel free to rename or wontfix then. Looks like the quick search feature will more than cover my needs.
