Longs URLs are not completely visible in the bug view page. They end with "...". As an example look at bug #289480.
when you're not logged in, yeah... you can get it by right-click/copy on the URL link right in front of it... not sure if that's obvious enough. UI guys? opinion?

The URL is also set as a title on the <span>. So you'll be able to see the URL by just waiting a while. However, maybe when logged out it makes sense to link the text instead of 'URL'?
Summary: Long URLs are cutted → Long URLs are truncated
I'm not sure having a URL which fills half of your screen is very helpful. The current design is good at that, IMO. Suggesting WFM or WONTFIX.
The URL is also truncated if I am logged in. Maybe this has something to do with priviledges? I think it is not very intuitive that the URL label links to the URL. I prefer that the URL itself is linked.

Yes, if you are not allowed to edit the URL, it looks as plain-text. > I think it is not very intuitive that the URL label links to the URL. I prefer > that the URL itself is linked. Yes, that's something we could do, upstream even.
We will implement my suggestion from comment 5 upstream. But in no case we will display the full URL as it's pretty useless as mentioned in comment 3.

I agree!

Thanks for the dupe.
