627122 - Including version information on individual reports

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

Description

When looking for issues that are version-specific, it would be great to have "4.0b8" or "4.0b9" etc shown by default, as in:

I know there's a pulldown at the top where you can dig in to specific versions, but in this case — where we're looking to see if something has been fixed in beta9 vs. beta8 — it would be helpful to have it inline where the red marker is.

Not a major issue, obviously, but thought I'd make a note of it. :)

The place you are showing there usually contains the URL if there is one associated with the feedback item.

Another option to showing the version openly there would be adding the entire UA to the tool tip on the platform string ("Windows 7"). What do you think about that?

Is it showing the full URL now, or just [URL] with a link to the page? I assume there's space for both if we don't show the URL itself, but just make it a link.

That would still make it hard to scan quickly for platform details.

I meant "version details", sorry.

limi - now that the Firefox Versioning system is ambiguous... do you still think this is something useful - because now it would just show: 5.0, 5.0, 5.0... :)
