1) The "Change Status To:" quick change option in the Issue details view is available to every user level. Even Viewer and Reporter can change status of an issue with this. This must be a bug?

Strange, that functionality is hidden away on my development environment. Maybe it was a bug that was already fixed.

I must verify this again then. I'll be back with this if I can repeat it with the current nightly build.

3) Open issues can be closed with "close" button. When issue's status is closed, it would be nice if "close" button would be substituted with "re-open" button, which would open a similar form to "Close Issue". Or even better, one could combine these two into "Change Status" button. This would also allow users to change the status between open context statuses and give a reason for it. Currently you can only input a reason when closing an issue.

I'm not sure how you are testing this, but the "Close" button is hidden when the issue is set to a closed-context status. I just tried this and it worked correctly for me.

My explanation might have been a little unclear. Yes, the "close" button is hidden when the issue is set to closed-context status. What I meant is that when the issue is closed, the issue details view could contain "re-open" so that you can re-open an issue in the very same way you close an open issue.

Or as an alternative, you could change the "close" button to "change status" button, which could be visible always.

[resolution field]

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. We already discussed this a while back, and there are a few users who want to have that field in there.

Ok, I'm not going to argue that anymore then :)

But maybe the little lacking feature I described in previous mail should be corrected still: After you have once closed an issue (by using the "close" button), you can't manually change the resolution. It even stays there if you re-open an issue.

Currently the only way to change it is to re-open the issue manually and close it again with different resolution (and even then, you are able just to change it, not remove).

An easy fix would be to add the resolution field to update form, where you could update it manually.

Well, the locking feature is really just a warning on top of the page, and it's not doing anything extra. Maybe we shouldn't have the lock thing at all, then? I got that suggestiong from a couple of internal users here in MySQL AB, so I think that would be simpler.

I don't have anything against the removal of whole locking feature, but even if it stays, I would like the see the locking feature not changing the assignees.

Ok, I'll run dos2unix on my repository before any releases to make sure things are correct.

Thanks! When might one expect the next official release?
