When the comment form also contained the issue metadata, it had the issue's title right there.

As I go through my tracker, I click on the "1 new" links, taking me to https://drupal.org/node/1234#new, which jumps to the bottom of the page.

Because I open a bunch of issues at once, I cannot use the tab bar to tell them apart:

It would be extremely helpful for me to just repeat the issue title somewhere in here:

I'd like all the metadata to be there, not just the title. That was a very helpful aspect of the previous "comment and update" at once form, even if you ended up commenting without changing any of it.

For example, if I follow a link to an issue from my tracker, I want to know when I'm reading the comment if that sucker is "closed (won't fix)" so I don't waste time responding to an unrelated support request that got attached to the issue on error.

Yes please, this would be great.

It gets me every time when I have to scroll back to the top.

[edit] I remember seeing someone suggest that the sidebar metadata block be always visible and scroll down as you scroll, that might help for all but the title.

...I'm pretty sure we all agree that the way these were available before d.o going D7 was better (another mention here #2127413-8: Regression: new pageloads / form submissions required for every issue update among other places). So lets just add them back where they used to be but not editable.

I'd like to add the issue title to the sidebar and float it as described in #2125589: Keep issue right sidebar visible

FYI, I posted a userscript in #2125589: Keep issue right sidebar visible that makes the sidebar sticky when scrolling and adds the issue title to it.

Status: Active » Closed (duplicate)

With the latest issue queue improvements release I think this is now done. So, marking this a duplicate of that.
