Bug Description

From Tom Halchuk in OEM QA:

When the user uses LP to view a list of bugs only 3 columns exist Summary, Importance, Status

Tags are used to help drill down to a more descriptive means of identifying the bug/defect.
Such app = application or loc = localization

See https://wiki.canonical.com/OEMServices/QA/Testing/Tags

It would be excellent to be able to see in the list of bugs a 4th column with the tags. Additionally all the columns should have a wrap-around property .

Even though the tags are shown on right it makes more sense to list all bugs and show the tags. That gives the tester an idea of how to plan their test effort, where the majority of the bugs are, AND what is needed to setup a round of tests. Such as network mgr tests, localizations tests, etc. These all take a long time to setup. If you have to bounce back and forth between tests your burning up the clock. I can think of other reasons as well.

(See also bug 78608, about displaying arbitrary columns in search results.)

This was tried in the past and it proved to be very expensive to add. Nigel added a feature to get extra information about a list of bugs on a page. A similar mechanism could be used to load the bug tags asynchronously.

Getting bug tags in a search *result* should be very fast: its one
query to populate for the whole 75 rows or whatever.

I speculate it was a problem do to no eager loading and late evaluation.
