657222 - process_bug.cgi "redirects" to show_bug.cgi even though preferences set not to show bug

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

My user preferences are set to not show the bug after changing it. (And I'm still waiting for a preference for attachments, but that's another story.) But my history is still getting redirected to show_bug.cgi as if I wanted to load the bug, which I don't.

Steps to reproduce problem:
1. Under user preferences, After changing a bug, choose Do Nothing
2. Change a bug
3. Note how process_bug.cgi "redirects" to show_bug.cgi

[:glob ✱]

it looks like the fix on bug 577720 doesn't honour this preference.

  Hmm, I might consider this intentional behavior. Part of what we're doing is ensuring that session restore works properly. Is this causing some negative behavior for you other than that your URL bar says something different?

Except that you're restoring something that wasn't there.

I guess I'll learn to live with it.

  Sure, but it's better than restoring an error page for process_bug.

  Okay. In that case I think I'm going to say WONTFIX for this.

How is this bug WONTFIX? If the user pref doesn't work, it should be fixed.

Oh, I see. The content of the page is the expected one. Only the URL has been altered. Then yes, I agree with wontfix here.
