389497 - Bug Lists: No way to tell what a bug is a duplicate of (Make "DUPL" a link to the bug we're a duplicate of?)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 112532

Description

[Ray Kiddy]

I am looking at a list of bugs returned from a search. Half are duplicates of something? What are they duplicates of? I have no idea. One has to enter a bug to see what it is a duplicate of. This is unnecessary.

Instead of just having the status field contain "DUPL", it could contain a link to the other bug. It could even include the bug number, perhaps below the status.

Then instead of:

108706    	Wind  	[e-mail]  	VERI  	DUPL  	Preferences are not read or written when profile is loaded from commandline using "-P"
130660 	Linu 	[e-mail] 	VERI 	DUPL 	profile/bookmarks/preferences are lost
143709 	Wind 	[e-mail] 	VERI 	DUPL 	Startup preferences don't work when using profiles from command line

One would see:

108706    	Wind  	[e-mail]  	VERI  	DUPL  	Preferences are not read or written when profile is loaded from commandline using "-P"
                                               108383
130660 	Linu 	[e-mail] 	VERI 	DUPL 	profile/bookmarks/preferences are lost
                                               126239
143709 	Wind 	[e-mail] 	VERI 	DUPL 	Startup preferences don't work when using profiles from command line
                                               58523

Much more useful.
