Bug Description
When I look at a particular bug and want to cut and paste the bug report URL into for instance a forum posting, it's pretty awkward:
- since I use LP beta, I have to delete the .edge. part.
- since the package might change, I should replace the whole ubuntu/
- I don't know really what the most stable URL should look like
A link somewhere on the bug report page should point to something like https:/
Another use case: If you follow a link to a specific bug comment, there's no where to click to get the full report. Either you have to manually edit the URL in the browser, or if you're lucky, there's a duplicate bug listed which you can click on, and then follow its link back.
Example: https:/
Hi Tormod,
thanks for the bug report. You don't need to delete the edge part. Launchpad automatically detects if you're a beta tester or not and redirect you to the proper place. /launchpad. net/bugs/ XXX.
The canonical URL for a bug is https:/
The lack of a link back to the report from the comment page is bug 78565
I think there's a usability guideline that says it's not good usability to have a link pointing to the same page you're at. I'll ask our usability expert to comment on.
