Text decoration (strike-through) in "Depends on" column of bug lists

in flag
Wolf

Bug lists in the Bugzilla installation on (see this one) have linked numbers with decoration in the “Depends on” column:

Decorated text in Depends-on cells

which is very helpful for picking a new candidate to assign, but which we miss in the Bugzilla installation of our company:

Plain text in Depends-on cells

I wasn't able to find out the version they run, but the linked documentation is about version 4.2. Our company runs version 5.0.6. I tried to find switches in the Preferences and Administration or information in the bugs of Bugzilla itself, but found nothing so far. I also inspected the HTML source, see these examples of the respective cells in the Mozilla installation (lines reformatted):

open bug

<td class="bz_dependson_column">
<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW" 
   title="NEW - box-decoration-break: clone affects bidi continuations" 
   href="/show_bug.cgi?id=1569107">
   1569107
</a>
</td>

closed bug

<td class="bz_dependson_column">
<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" 
   title="RESOLVED FIXED - text-decoration-thickness isn't
   being serialized as part of the text-decoration shorthand computed-value"
   href="/show_bug.cgi?id=1574222">
   1574222
</a>
</td>

Here a “Depends on” cell in our installation:

<td class="bz_dependson_column">
1792
</td>

There is no difference related to the bug state.

I was not able to get any useful results by searching the web, also when searching for the classes bz_bug_link, bz_status_NEW etc., they originate from the classes pool applied to all bug links shown by Bugzilla.

The text-decoration goes back to the CSS:

.bz_obsolete, .bz_inactive, .bz_closed, .bz_CLOSED td {
    text-decoration: line-through !important;
}

What has to be done to enable links, and therefore classes, for bug numbers shown in the "Depends on" column of bug lists?

@MichaelHampton Thanks for taking the time. Do you *know* that the linking is done by the standard package (and not by some extension)? As I said, the fact that I haven't found anything makes me a little unsure if the error isn't on my end. Only now I did a web search for `"Select a product category to browse:"` and found several 5.0.x installations exposing the same issue.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
