290288 - There are better HTML titles than "Bug processed"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: User Interface, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040906

After having changed a bug the HTML title is set to "Bug processed". I would
like to have the bug number included between those two words at least. Generally
I think the HTML title (usually title of windows or tab in the browser) should
reflect what's currently being displayed.
Adding specific information will help picking the right window from either a
list of tabs or windows when changing windows via Alt+Tab or so.
I'm sure there are other examples, not just "Bug processed", but you'll get the
idea I guess.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Apply some change to a bug

Actual Results:  
Windows title is "Bug processed"

Expected Results:  
A smarter type of title

Yes, I definitely agree. :-) Particularly when I have a lot of tabs open, "Bug
Processed" is really unhelpful. :-)

IMO, if the page title changes to "Bug NNN processed" or similar (which sounds 
like a GOOD idea) then bug 63536 should also be fixed.

It is already misleading to have the "wrong" bug shown after submitting, and 
would be highly misleading to have a page title starting "Bug YYY", but showing 
bug XXX. (Conversely, some consideration should be given to a "correct" page 
title for people who do prefer to configure it to go to a different bug after 
processing....)

If we go to a new bug after processing the last one, whether or not we have a
user preference for it yet, the title of the page should be "Bug NNN processed;
Bug YYY <summary>", so that users can tell from the title of the page both what
bug was processed and what bug is being displayed next.

While we're at it: I've decided to add this enhancement to this enhancement
request: After submitting changes ("Changes submitted", "Bug processed") the
text "Back To Bug #12345" should be enriched with the summary of that bug.
That's maybe more obvious if you keep multiple bugzilla tabs open in your bowser
over night. Can you still remember what your last filed bug was about? Me not
always. So it would be a significant alternative to having to visit the link
taget first.
Maybe the weakest solution could be adding a title attribute with the bug's
summary to the hyperlink.

If a single bug is edited: Bug XXX processed
If multiple bugs are edited: Bugs processed

Yeah, I suppose that works. There should be some better way than using the CGI, though.

In reply to comment #7: While making nails with heads, what about something like "%u Bugs processed" for the case of multiple bugs? Is it possible within templates?

Templates do not have this information available. And I don't consider this information as useful enough to worth the change.
