Malone bug statuses should be single words

[Mark Shuttleworth]

Having two-word statuses like "Fix released" causes the lines in bug listings to wrap on occasion, unnecessarily. Please change all the statuses to single words.

Alternatively we could render the status names with a non-breaking space.

Either would do it for me as long as the latter option is implemented
consistently in every bug listing.

Personally, with colour and a single word I think we gain more readability.

I'm all for an nbsp solution, particularly if, by single words, you meant "FixReleased", instead of "Fix Released". And trying to come up with one English word to represent each possible state will, I think, make them harder to understand in some cases.

Colour and single word sounds like a sensible solution - it's a small niggle, but it is irritating!

This still happens. It is however in our backlog and not currently scheduled. Perhaps the bug-columns project which is overhauling our bug listings will look at it. I'm *speculatively* tagging it with that, but it may get untagged shortly after :)
