Dear Maintainer, Currently, only bug number is shown. Sure we can see *relatively* how a bug has aged, but there is no clear clue. People can and have a vague perception of age by bug numbers, though what is "present" or "recent" also changes with time. OTOH, a time of creation or last reply is immediately clear and precise.
Are you aware of the tooltip that appears if you click in the severity / tags area of each bug listing? (i.e. for this bug in the "[n| | ]" block.) Regards, Adam
Hi Adam, TIL, thanks. Though I'd argue it's not *immediately* visible ;) Both representation and its own discoverability (clever to use the click event of a link styled element, btw). Necessity of this information being directly in the primary view (i.e. not in a tooltip), is another question, I guess.
If you want to see all of that information (age, date, etc), click "toggle all extra information" and it will show up. [We elide it by default to show more bugs in a single screen.] There's an argument that the toggle extra information should be more visible (it really belongs under a hamburger menu somewhere) but that's a different issue.
