232154 - After bmo upgrade, I lose my previous column configuration

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

My old cookies.txt says:

bugzilla.mozilla.org    FALSE   /       FALSE   1877472088      COLUMNLIST     
severity platform owner status resolution component summary

The new one says:

bugzilla.mozilla.org    FALSE   /       FALSE   2145916809      COLUMNLIST     
bug_severity%20assigned_to%20bug_status%20resolution%20component%20short_short_desc

The <space> => %20 is OK, I think - its just extra CGI.pm escaping

I'm more interested in the severity => bug_severity change. Someone eeds to stop
chaning filed names every release, and add backwards compat code when they do.....

In fact some code was written to deal with old field names when these were
changed back in bug 176461, but the code was buggy, removing spaces between
columns in columnlist so that some column names got run together and thus
didn't match any existing columns.  Here's the fix.

OK. Don't all three need a \b at the end? It doesn't make a difference now, but
it could one day. r=bbaetz either way.

Attachment: patch v2: the version that was checked in

leading and trailing \b for all column names to improve robustness per bbaetz'
suggestion in bug and on IRC.

Is this the bug that causes the "change columns" page to not show any columns as
checked the first time you visit it to make a column change?

Nope, that's a different bug, and it doesn't look to be filed.  File it please. :-)
