RFE: Return to bug list from bug display
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:53 EDT
It would be very convenient if there was a button to return to the bug list when viewing/editing a bug in a query result. There exists buttons to navigate thru the list, but nothing to view the actual list again.
I use my browser's BACK button for this, if that helps.
I admit this would be nice but would actually not be a trivial addition. I will look into this as time allows.
It does not help much when you have navigated a few steps, added some comment and so on. Adding it should be quite trivial. You have the bugid list in a cookie, and it should not be that much work to build a display from that by either using a modified buglist script, or adding the functionality to the existing one. Looking thru the script it is actually quite trivial. There is a SQL backdoor on buglist.cgi, and you can use it to create any query. Simply create a link to /bugzilla/buglist.cgi?sql=bugs.bug_id%20in%20(4753,7683,4532) where 4753,7683,4532 is the current value of BUGLIST.
This diff should do it I think..

My fault. I did overlook that one feature of the Bugzilla system. You are right using that functionality it is a simple task. I have added it and should show up soon.
