Launchpad itself

marking a bug as duplicate should show you the bug title

Bug #354718 reported by Michael Hudson-Doyle
2
Affects Status Importance Assigned to Milestone
Launchpad itself
Triaged
Low
Unassigned

Bug Description

It would be nice if the process of marking a bug as a duplicate showed you the title of the bug you've marked the report as a duplicate of; a typo in the opaque bug id you're typing in could mark the bug as a duplicate of something unrelated and you'd probably never know.

If you could use some kind of funky ajax blog search to find the bug, that would be even better, but also a lot harder I presume :)

I actually re-read the description and this isn't a duplicate after all.

Yes, a lot of work indeed. That's why I'm quite sure we won't have time

Dropping to low - yes it could be improved but its not on our current roadmap. If someone wanted to do up a patch for it, that would be cool. (Would only need to be client side, as APIs to get bugs already exist).

Changed in launchpad:
importance: High → Low
