Ezio Melotti added the comment: Attached patch tweaks the end key to jump to the last message rather than the end of the page when pressed for the first time. After the first hit, the normal 'end' behavior is restored. I'll revert the history folding and apply this instead, to see how it wor

Ezio Melotti added the comment: Remembering the folded/unfolded position is not difficult (like sphinx does with the sidebar in the py3k doc), so that's a way to have a per-user option without having to configure anything. I also don't think some users are opposed to *any* kind of folding, dep

Martin v. Löwis added the comment: I recommend to revert this change. It seems that some users are opposed to any kind of folding (as my earlier folding experiment has demonstrated); users who *really* don't want to see the history would need to step forward and request a per-user option to s

Ezio Melotti added the comment: IMHO you can already see most of the interesting things already. By the time you reach the history you already saw the nosy list, the attachments, the messages, each with an author and a date. The things that are left are changes in the nosy list (but I don't

Ned Deily added the comment: If the only reason for adding the suppression of the history is to make it easier to get to the last message, that does not strike me as a good trade-off. You can easily get to any message with a few keystrokes: End, then Up - whereas with the change, you now need

Ned Deily added the comment: My initial reaction to this feature is a big -1. For most issues I want to look at the history and I am finding it quite jarring to see a blank space where I expected to find it. More importantly, I now have to use the mouse to expand. I really prefer the previ

Ezio Melotti added the comment: Committed in r88843 and made it work on IE6/7 in r88844. It's somewhat slow on old computers when the history contains many elements but I don't think it's a big deal. It's possible to change the script to "enable" the button only if the history has e.g. more th

New submission from Ezio Melotti : The attached patch folds history automatically and adds a "show history"/"hide history" button to fold/unfold it. With the history folded by default it's possible to use the 'end' key to jump to the last message without having to scroll up to skip the histor
