Other glitches

• new ticket preview shows: # new defect (fixed) r11154
• ticket query table has a minor glitch in row background colors. For tickets with priority 1, 2 or 6, the background and border color is darker for odd rows and lighter for even rows. For tickets with priority 3, 4 or 5, it's vice versa (darker for even rows). Styles for the rows are defined in file: /chrome/common/css/report.css
