Why? Isn't it quite ok that the bug identifiers (the number and the alias) are
in the same cell?

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

No, thats not the reason its wrapping. If the email address wraps onto more than
one line (long realname, for example), the moz wraps the content. Using a  
instead of the space before the text input field didn't help - are
#text->element boundaries line wrap points? I didn't try playing with <nobr>,
though.

it is not ok. it is ok for a label to be flush left above an element that it is labeling -- IFF you've run out of space to get the label and the element on the same line.

However, the fact is that you *really* don't need the bug number at all.



here's what i see using Links (b.m.o not m.m.o)

Bugzilla Bug 156670   bug alias field messes up at 800x600

        Query page      Enter new bug --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Bug#: 156670 a.k.a.



The bug # is already listed along with its summary at the top of this little thing.



We could simply replace Bug#:|<number> a.k.a. [alias] with

Bug Alias:|[alias]



Since the bug number is already accessible and is very static.

The User Interface component now belongs to Gerv.  Reassigning all UNCONFIRMED
and NEW (but not ASSIGNED) bugs currently owned by Myk (the previous component
owner) to Gerv.

Comment 6

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Reassigning back to Myk.  That stuff about Gerv taking over the User Interface
component turned out to be short-lived.  Please pardon our confusion, and I'm
very sorry about the spam.

This bug has not been touched by its owner in over six months, even though it is
targeted to 2.20, for which the freeze is 10 days away. Unsetting the target
milestone, on the assumption that nobody is actually working on it or has any
plans to soon.

If you are the owner, and you plan to work on the bug, please give it a real
target milestone. If you are the owner, and you do *not* plan to work on it,
please reassign it to [e-mail] or a .bugs component owner. If you are
*anybody*, and you get this comment, and *you* plan to work on the bug, please
reassign it to yourself if you have the ability.

This is a good fix except that the label should be just "Alias" rather than
"Bug alias".

Attachment: why I'm not happy with the classification

Look how the UI behaves due to the classification. :(
We have so much place on the right, why not moving it there?

Because it makes more sense on the left when read, and because the solution to
the wrapping problem is to instruct the browser not to break the label when
displaying it.

I now leave the classification name alone as myk and I cannot agree on this
point.
