Bug Description
1. From <https:/
What happens: When you click "Also affects project", the resulting page <https:/
What should happen: The "Also affects project" link should display the same form regardless of context. Suggested upstreams should be radio buttons added to the usual form, rather than a completely different form.
From #ubuntu-devel:
[15:54] <maix> > So far it's not been requested. It would have to be requested (use also
[15:54] <maix> > affects to add gutsy-backports) and them tested on gutsy.
[15:54] <maix> (https:/
[15:54] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 223789 in hardy-backports "Please backport mercurial 1.0.1-2 from Intrepid to Hardy" [Wishlist,In progress]
[15:54] <maix> i cannot find such a link/option there
[15:55] <ScottK> See where it says "Also affects project" right under mercurial(ubuntu)?
[15:55] <ScottK> Click on that.
[15:55] <maix> yes?
[15:55] <maix> (i've tried that but it did not seem to be the right thing to me :)
...
[15:56] <ScottK> Yes. Actually you need to do that from https:/
[15:56] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 223789 in hardy-backports "Please backport mercurial 1.0.1-2 from Intrepid to Hardy" [Wishlist,In progress]
[15:57] <ScottK> Then when it asks you about the affected project say gutsy-backports.
[15:58] <ScottK> maix: Does that work better?
[15:58] <maix> yes
[15:59] <ScottK> Feel free to discuss the user-friendly U/I in #launchpad. My thoughts on the matter are well known.
[15:59] <maix> but that's very confusing, why are there completely different options if i access the same bug by a different url
[15:59] <ScottK> That's a good question to ask in #launchpad.
[16:00] <maix> ok then i can guess what your thougts are :)
The only way I could find to get to the hardy-backports URL from the ubuntu/
Something less opaque would be nice.

That's bizarre.
