+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #753203 +++ [appropriate component Bugzilla User Interface is not available to me in select list.] ... multiple URLs for each bug (basic, plus &goaheadandlogin) cluttering browser history...ha[s] long made Novell's Bugzilla the most annoying of the several Bugzillas I've used over the years. Quoting Matthew Ehle in bug 753203: "It's probably a good idea to split this bug accordingly. The two issues are not related in any way that I can see." Each bug report should have only one URL.

The bug mentioned above is unrelated to this bug, but instead email notification URLs. I am actively working on simplifying the Bugzilla authentication process, and I will see if it is at all possible at this time to reduce the number of "&GoAheadAndLogIn"-based URLs. The purpose of this URL suffix is to ensure the user is logged in before attempting to access the listed bug (perfect for sending a link to a bug requiring permissions to access), but this should be unnecessary once the login is verified. Once I have determined if this change is possible, I will update this bug accordingly.
Sorry, I do not understand why I have been added to this report. Removing myself.
