Bug Description

I was on this branch page:

  https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~kfogel/launchpadlib/426323-apidoc-html-title-attrs

and clicked "Link to a bug report" to link it to bug #426323. After I entered the bug number and hit Return, I was left at the branch page, and the link now said "Link to another bug report" -- however, the actual link to the bug, which should have been right above that, was not present! Only after I reloaded the branch page did that link show up (the one with the bug icon next to it and the summary of the bug as the link text).

It doesn't appear to matter whether it's the first bug this branch has been linked to or not. I just created https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~kfogel/launchpadlib/test-branch-please-ignore and linked it first to this bug, then another. In the first case, the new bug link didn't show up. Then when I clicked again ("Link to another bug report"), it finally displayed the one I'd already linked to, but the *new* one I entered did not get displayed after I hit Return. Only when I refreshed the page (or deleted the other bug link) would it show up.

This is all with Firefox 3.0.1 on a Debian 'testing' dist up-to-date as of this morning; haven't tried it on my Ubuntu box yet.
