Bug Description
The right pane lists in the bug report view should be collapsable to ease the navigation.
Such lists are often overloaded in hot bugs with lots of information that is not always needed (100 duplicates, 500 subscribers, 50 attachments).
Malone needs a way to temporarily hide these lists in the AJAX GUI, like in Google Reader or iGoogle RSS widgets.
Ie. clicking on Subscribers header should collapse it and hide all the subscribers.

This proposal is one possible solution for bug 446484 (over-long duplicates list) and bug 683151 (over-long subscriber list). (There doesn't seem to be a bug report about the many-attachments case.)
It may be useful to design solutions for those bugs together. But that doesn't necessarily mean making the boxes collapsible is the best solution. The best solution might vary between individual lists. For example, the best solution for the many-duplicates and many-attachments cases might be to make "Duplicates only" and "Attachments only" view filters for the bug comments (assuming bug 354806 is fixed first), rather than separate lists of their own. But that solution wouldn't work for the subscriber list.
All the boxes (then called "portlets") were collapsible from mid-2008 to September 2009. We removed the function because it slowed down pages for little benefit.
