Description of problem: The topics presented in a topic map are not linked to the topics themselves. To get from a map to a topic, you need to type or copy-and-paste the topic ID into the search box search, then click search. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Build 201310180711 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open any topic map 2. Click on a topic ID Actual results: Nothing happens. Expected results: PressGang takes you to the topic you clicked. Clicking a topic ID should take you to the topic itself; clicking a revision number should take you to that revision of that topic. Additional info:
Hey Rudi, if you right click on any Topic ID in a map it'll bring up a menu that has multiple options, eg: Edit the Topic, see where else the topic is used and see the last 5 revision messages. I believe this is what you are looking for with the exception of the revision.
Only broadly. That's very slow, not very discoverable, and hits me with a whole bunch of options when really, in almost every case, all I want to do is go to the topic! The information in that pop-up is better suited to a hover, IMHO. Nevertheless, good to know though -- thanks! The right-click option should make it clear that the "edit" button will open the link in a new tab, and should offer an "open in new window" option as well. The left click I'm asking for in the bug should just go straight to the topic.
That's some good reasoning to me, in this case though I believe it should be a double click because a single click is likely to open the topic by accident if you try to edit anything.
Just adding to above that it could also be something like a key + click combo (ie ALT + single click).
Both those options would be fine, but both still break with the established, expected behaviour of a web page. How about: when you navigate to a topic map, it's not immediately editable, but the links behave like normal hypertext links. If you want to edit a map, you need to click an "edit" button (think Wikipedia). This also prevents inadvertent edits to maps.
