I don't like the overall layout change.  The three-column layout currently used at the top of bugs saves space, allowing me to see the CC list and the first few attachments without scrolling.  Is there a good reason to switch to an entirely two-column layout?

* Agree with Jesse, 3 columns allows for more information density on a page and will actually make it easier to visually scan each chunk/grouping
* When no search results are available, just hide that row since it adds no valuable information
* Compress the header as in mconnor's mockup, the repetition of the bug name and number is distracting and confusing
* The actions section takes up too much space and is too visually prominent. There doesn't need to be a "format for printing" button, we should just use a sensible print.css file. Clone bug and "XML" are seemingly low value, too. Instead I'd propose something like:
  Bug 415 - blah blah blah blah (edit)

mconnor's proposal (which includes changes to the header) is here.

preview of the work in progress is here; note that logging in changes the appearance quite a bit.

Comments

(please include your rationale!)

Jesse

I like the wording changes and "edit" links. Those save space and make the page less cluttered.

I don't like the overall layout change. The three-column layout currently used at the top of bugs saves space, allowing me to see the CC list and the first few attachments without scrolling. Is there a good reason to switch to an entirely two-column layout?
