jreese 2008-07-01 10:45 reporter ~0018260	I had recently tested a similar fix for the problem. However, my solution was to change string_get_bug_view_link() to only post the bug's summary if the user had access, but to still hyperlink it otherwise, in order to allow anonymous/unlogged users to click the buglink, and then log in to see the bug. It would also still allow the user to see the the bug's status, regardless of access level, although that could easily be changed. I think this could be a better solution to the problem than to not hyperlink the bug at all.
