Put ticket title back in the ticket yellow box

[Christian Boos]

I recently stumbled upon a ticket in a 0.8.x Trac: the <h1> was part of the <div id="ticket"> at that time, and I actually think that it was prettier that way.

… so that I can get some feedback before commit ;)

​An example of 0.8 ticket.

It might look nicer inside the yellow box.

Oh, forgot about this one… let's use this style for a while and see if people like it…

“Prettier” is very subjective. Personally, I strongly prefer the title outside of the box, as it's more consistent with the placement on other pages.

Now, I would argue that having the status and ticket type in the heading adds quite a bit of noise, but that's a whole different can of worms ;-) I could imagine that the subjective feeling of the title inside the box being prettier is actually due to the stuff in parenthesis missing, making the title feel cleaner overall.

yeah … and I agree. I thought that having that information in the title would make it less easy to miss. Ok, it's better than the greyed out status we had before, but curiously it's still easy to miss. Let's try out something else.

Seeing this has been inside the yellow box for quite some time now, I suppose it has become the de-facto standard.

Are there any further opinions on this matter, or could the ticket be closed?

With the proposed new style (well, not really new, same as what was done in Trac [0.8]):

Typo. I did mean to write 'outside' :-)

[Christian Boos]

Ok, thanks for clarifying. Nevertheless, I still stand by my point that when "Ticket #156 (new ER)" is outside of the box, you tend to skip that information as your attention will naturally focus inside the yellow box and to the summary, overlooking the type and status information.

With "Ticket #156 (new ER)" inside the box, you won't miss the type and status that easily.

Superseded by #7197 (put the type and status fields inside the box, leave title outside).
