new bug listing importance is difficult to read

[Diogo Matsubara]

In the UDS session we showed the new bug listing to LP users and one of the things raised is that the importance is difficult to read. See screeshot.

Their suggestion was to make the text bold.

[Martin Pool (mbp)]

I think there are a few aspects here:
 * the status and importance are vertically stacked
 * they use overlapping color palettes with different meanings
 * they are differently aligned which is jarring
 * they use different font sizes which is also jarring

Key uses are that people be able to get overall awareness of the
spread of values in the displayed bugs, and also to scan for bugs with
a particular value. That will probably be easier if they are distinct
in both color and space.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Yes to all of the above.

Frankly, I like having the status and importance in separate, adjacent columns. If column space is that precious, perhaps move the heat indicators from the right hand side to down underneath importance?

Then, if there is a bug with high heat that isn't high/critical importance, this discrepancy will stand out visibly (as it should). And high/critical bugs with high heat will show a heap-load of red color which will make them look especially urgent.

[Matthew Revell (matthew.revell)]

We've moved the status to sit at the right-hand side of the importance. We've also introduced colour scheme for statuses, grouping them broadly into:

 * New
 * In progress
 * Rejected
 * Complete.

Is this bug now fixed?

[Deryck Hodge (deryck)]

I believe this bug is indeed fixed now. Huw's work has updated this dramatically, though we may never get a look that completely satisfies every user. If there are new issues with the way we display status, we should open new bugs.

[Deryck Hodge (deryck)]

Issues with the way we display status or importance, is what I meant.
