Comment 7 for bug 137448

It seems we have two different approaches, one old, one new.

The status and importance fields act in the old way, they take you to +editstatus

Clicking on the product name under affects will take you to the product. Yet the drop down takes you to +editstatus.
Clicking on the account under Assigned to will take you to the account. Yet the drop down takes you to +editstatus.

I believe the drop downs are correct. The action I would expect here is to click on them and edit the bug report.

I think we can improve the consistency by changing the Status link so that it links to https://help.launchpad.net/BugStatuses but leaving the drop down so it links to +editstatus. In this same vein, I propose we unlink the importance (e.g. high, medium) but keep the drop down link to +editstatus. These changes should make the display more consistent and folks (like me) can relearn the mappings without having to process exceptions. This would also specifically address Bug 185853 (which is a dup of Bug 29495). We could make this changes as part of Bug 29495.
