Bug Description

When I'm using the default search links such as ‘Bugs assigned to me’ or ‘Bugs with patches’ they include bugs in the ‘Fix Committed’ state, which is unhelpful because they are indeed done.

I would like to be able to omit committed bugs by default, otherwise the search links are unusable for me.

Alternatively a way to create or modify search links project-wide would solve this.

In Launchpad, bugs aren't considered resolved until they reach "fix released". Is it sufficient for you to set those bugs to "fix released" instead?

I understand 'Committed' to mean that the change is in the repository and 'Released' to mean that a new version of the application contains the change. Otherwise I don't see why both states exist.

Bug 163694 discusses the confusion between Fix Committed vs. Released.

However, resolving that bug might take a while, and needn't block fixing this one. It's reasonable that different Bugs pages might show different sets of statuses; bug 5977 is the most prominent example, and this *might* be another.

Marking this low only because it's quite involved to fix and in terms of pain points in Launchpad's search warts, I think it's a pretty small point of pain. Most people work around this fine with advanced searches or bookmarks. But I do understand someone wanting to change this as a default across Launchpad.

Changed in malone:
