Currently comments on bugs only have permalinks. Permalink leads to a page that shows only one given comment. Sometimes it makes sense to see the discussion in context with it's replies. This can be easily achieved by adding a target anchor such as <a name="comment42"> before every comment. |

Hello Amir,
thanks for the report.
I'm afraid I don't understand this bug report. You mean we should add to each individual comment page a link back to the comment anchor, is that correct?
Cheers.

Currently the permalinks to bug comments lead to a page showing only that one comment. But usually people want to see a comment in context with the discussion around it.
This can be solved by adding a target anchors such as <div name="comment-2" title="comment-2" id="comment-2">...</div> around every comment. Then the permalink would point to the bug page with "#comment42" appended. So for example, a URL like
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/305995/comments/2
would become
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/305995#comment-2
In which case, it may also be useful to surround the target comment with a red border or some other visual clue, so it's clear which comment was the actual target of the permalink, and which ones are the context around it. In CSS, something like
:target {
border: 2px solid red;
}
would do the trick.
NOTE: the original description of this bug was a bit hard to decipher, leading to Diogo's puzzled comment below. |

I really like this idea!
Things we should consider:
* What are the implications for performance (rendering all the comments for a bug with many comments can be expensive)
* What are the usability implications? Is there still a use for a single comment view?
* What can we do for bug pages where we trim the comments? (maybe turn them on automagically with a script)? |
