I don't understand why I'm getting pounded by downvoters. First someone tells me that a small-typeface 'status' is 'exceptionally clear' and UI doesn't really matter for developers. Next I'm told that in order to detect something from across the room, I have to click through a link. I realise my comment was snarky, but both of these responses were in a patronising tone themselves. Does bugzilla have some sort of rabid fanbase akin to the vim/emacs wars?

  its like, the very first line of the bug's informational body. And it shows up in bugzilla searches too: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=deleting%20all%20files%20in%20hard%20drive https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=deleting... I don't think anyone else has had a tone other than short-spoken

    Keep in mind that I did not say anything like 'terrible' or 'worst ever'. I said 'iffy'. I also obviously know where to find the state, because I mentioned it in my original comment. In return I got that it was 'exceptionally clear' (which it clearly isn't, given there's a few people in this thread that missed it); that UI doesn't matter for developers; a possible insinuation that I don't know the kind of tools devs use; and a follow-up comment that tells me I need to know my tools but then proceeds to completely ignore the use-case it explicitly quoted when telling me what I should do. I don't know how that second one can be seen as anything but patronising. Continuing on with the theme, your point still doesn't answer any of the issues I had in my downmodded comment regarding what is 'exceptionally clear'. Can you tell at a glance from a meter away? My point isn't about the existence of a field, but its presentation. If you don't think the UI is iffy, that's fine, we disagree. But let's not make up nonsense about things like devs not benefiting from good UI or offering solutions that don't match the quoted use-case.

I seriously can't tell anything that isn't colored, I do not have any idea what is the concept of distanced vision, (short sighted, glasses still make things fuzzy) I would wonder if the status in all bugzilla implementations would warrant viewable-at-a-meter, I personally find the presentation fine though: it is the first thing I see other than the title, unless I'm specifically not looking for it.

      You are being down voted because you are complaining about something which isn't relevant. Complaining about bugzillas UI not being pretty and clear from across the room really isn't relevant to the issue or bugzillas purpose whatsoever.
