That's a great idea, indeed. I was in favor of a wontfix since the result was not worth the cost of the implementation.

But this proposal is good and is worth the cost of making sure the SQL request made to get the list always include the status_id field.

At the time it is done, all the CSS should be updated.

(You were right to post your message. There's nothing wrong about posting a comment after a wontfix. We should also be open to discuss our mutual judgments. What matters is improving the software, nothing else.)

So as result I reopen the idea and untag it.

Such change would in fact require heavy changes in the code.

The method for now is to use the advanced form.

Indeed, we could add a string in the subject mentioning whether the item is closed or not.

It could looks like https://gna.org/task/?func=detailitem&item_id=313#dependencies

(maybe just the icon, no string)

When searching for bugs with status "Any", it is impossible to tell whether a particular bug is open or closed. While this is a minor issue, I think it is still a bug.
