Bug Description

When marking a bug report as a duplicate, the summary of the master bug is not shown at any point in the process.

This makes it hard for users to be sure they chose the right bug (e.g. that they didn't drop a digit in copy-paste or whatever).

I don't know what "ajax duplication" is. I reported this bug before Launchpad used XHR for marking duplicates. But the same bug still exists, if for example you go to <https://bugs.staging.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/6/+duplicate> and enter a bug number.

summary: - Marking bug report as duplicate displays no Web notification
