Tags not shown in task browser

[Jonathan Lange]

If I task has a tag, I expect that tag to be shown in the "Tags" column of the workview, especially when looking at the "All tasks" view. However, even after I've added a task, the "Tags" column is blank for all tasks.

Steps to reproduce:
  * Create a new task using the quick task add bar, "Do a thing"
  * Open up the task
  * Add a tag by adding the text "@Foo", hit Enter.
  * Close the task
  * Click on "All tasks"

What I expect:
  * The word "Foo" to appear in the tags column next to the "Do a thing" item

What I see:
  * An empty tags column for the "Do a thing" item.

Actually, only tag colored squares appear in that column, the reason being that it could clutter the list if you have numerous tags for a task. However I've already been enclined to think that we should improve this a bit, but I'm not sure having all tags listed in a column is the best solution. I'd like to experiment a bit before changing the present behavior. If anybody's inspired he/she can post mockups, sketches or screenshot replacement solutions.

Thanks, I might do something like that. Gmail has the text of labels
in rows -- I think that works well.

I agree, I'd like to experiment something like, at least through some mockups. To have a look on the effect.

I propose to simply remove the label on that "tag" column. Indeed, this column is then very wide, depending on your locale. And it makes users have some fake expectation (like this bug is).

Not having a label on the tag column works fine for me. I consider that it fixes the bug for 0:3. Other suggestions should be filled as a separate bug for 0:4
