Critical bugs are listed as 8 in the side bar, but there actually aren't any

[Matthew East]

On the page https://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-doc/+bugs, it says there are 8 critical bugs, but in fact there are none. That becomes clear when you click on "Critical".

Ah, I see where the 8 comes from. There have been 8 critical bugs EVER filed on this product. All are closed.

Either:

 - the number of bugs should only count open bugs; or
 - clicking on "Critical" should show the closed bugs

My suspicion is that the former is what we want.

There seems to be a disconnect between the queries used to create the counts, and the queries expressed in the URL links.

Here is a rundown of the search URLS and count queries:

Open:
  URL: all bugs with unresolved status, omitting dupes
  Count: same.

Assigned to me:
  URL: bugs assigned to user with unresolved status, omitting dupes
  Count: same.

Critical:
  URL: bugs with unresolved status, severity=Critical, omitting dupes
  Count: bugs with any status, severity=Critical, omitting dupes

Unconfirmed:
  URL: bugs with status=Unconfirmed, omitting dupes
  Count: same.

Unassigned:
  URL: bugs with unresolved status, assignee=NULL, omitting dupes
  Count: bugs with any status, assignee=NULL, omitting dupes

All bugs:
  URL: bugs with unresolved status (default when none given), omitting dupes
  Count: all bugs except dupes.

So the "Critical", "Unassigned" and "All bugs" items can all give misleading counts. In the first two cases, the count should be adjusted. In the last, the URL should be.

It is likely that bug 34224 has the same cause, but I haven't checked the templates to verify.

Another side effect of this is that it is rather inconvenient to find bugs which have been fixed or rejected (the advanced search form must be used).

[Matthew East (mdke)]

I'm fairly sure this fix has been released now.
