Aha; so two problems:

(a) if you hover over the file.diff link on the left it says =93View the =
content of the attachment=94 but that=92s not what it means as it =
delivers it as:

	Content-Type: text/plain; name=3D"file.diff"; charset=3D
	Content-disposition: attachment; filename=3D=93f(b)ile.diff=94

(b) the =93diff=94 link on the right in the box is actually the =93show =
diff in fancy web UI=94 link.

Would it be possible to change the hover of (a) to =93Download diff=94 =
and the link description of (b) to =93show diff=94?   Yes I bet that=92s =
upstream stuff, but if I have to use this thing and not just swear about =
it I=92d rather have someone improve it=92s usability

without completely reloading the page:  e.g, Assigned-To:  if you click =

anymore;  similar for Status, when you accidentally hit =93mark as =
duplicate=94 right below the drop down you are screwed and have to start =
over;  this kills too much time.

(6) Changes to individual fields on the top do not always trigger =
