weird behaviour with duplicate not being shown and wrong privacy |
misbehaviour in marking duplicates |

I don't know what's happening here but something is wrong:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/332960 is a dupe of
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/333110
The web page of bug 332960 shows it is a dupe of 333110, but the "Duplicate of " text is not a link as it normally is.
The web page for bug 333110 does not show that it has any duplicates. If I click "mark as duplicate" and try to make it a dupe of 332960, which I was originally trying to do before I realized the link existed in the other direction, I get an error that there's already a dupe.
ubottu is also confused about privacy:
poolie: i have some strange behaviour in malone
poolie: bug 332960 is a duplicate of bug 333110
ubottu: Bug 332960 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/332960 is private
ubottu: Launchpad bug 333110 in usb-creator "stupid illegible "Installation Failed" dialog box" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/333110
poolie: but this is not shown on the page of bug 333110
wgrant: poolie: Can you see 332960?
poolie: yes
poolie: hm
poolie: and the web site says it's public
wgrant: Ermmm.
wgrant: Bug 332960
ubottu: Bug 332960 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/332960 is private
However, in the web interface bug 332960 and 333110 are both shown as public. Several hours ago it was private before being retraced. |
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/332960 is a dupe of bug 331327
I wanted to also mark bug 333110 as a dupe of bug 332960, and I'm then told that bug 332960 is already a duplicate so I can't do that. I then typed 331327 into the duplicate-marking field, and submit that form. Submitting the form then gives me a "you don't have permission to view this page" error, I suppose because it was trying to take me to bug 331327, and the bug is not marked as a duplicate.
In <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/332960> by contrast, the public bug is marked as a duplicate of the private bug, but the "Duplicate of bug #331327" is not a hyperlink, and so doesn't explain that bug 331327 is private.
What I'd like is:
1- Marking a bug as a duplicate of a bug I'm not privileged to see to work, maybe with a warning or confirmation step. On completion it would have to send you somewhere other than the private bug.
2- If a bug is a dupe of a private bug, to still show the hyperlink, with an appropriate tooltip. After all, if I'm not logged in then the hyperlink to that bug would give me a chance to log in and potentially then see it. |

It is a somewhat confusing behaviour but also a somewhat unusual case. So I don't think this bug is very urgent. It would be nice if #2 was fixed at least. |
