On mobile, when I use the browser back button to return from an issue to the issues list, the issues list will intermittently (but annoyingly regularly) fail to load for me. Reloading the page woks around the issue. Otherwise, the new issues list is ok. |

Sadly, it just happened again for me a moment ago on Firefox desktop, after a rather long streak of not reproducing. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what help I can give tracking it down given how rarely it happens... |

Ah, good(?) news - I was able to repro it a 2nd time by:
Expected: I can see the list of issues EDIT: calling this the blank issues list issue
I did notice a different issue when trying to reproduce, though:
Expected: The url and input box contains "state:closed", and I should see the list of closed issues
EDIT: calling this the active instead of closed issue Sadly, this issue also can't be reproduced easily Seeing this on Firefox 132.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10 |

And another repro of the blank issues list issue (repro no.3):
when in this state, I can go forward to go to the issue again:
And press use browser toolbar back button or mouse back button to see the blank closed issues list:
... as many times as I want Opening the dropdown menus work just fine: (From previous repros: refreshing or going back from the issues list to the previous page unsticks things again.) There are no errors in the browser console. From the browser dev tools:
EDIT: The trick for reproducing the blank issues list issue seems to be leaving the browser open on the issues list for a while (go off and do something else), and when you come back, click an issue, then use the browser back button. It appears to happen more often than not that I hit the issue when leaving the tab alone for a while and then come back to it. Steps:
Browser info:
Related(?) issue (EDIT: calling this author filter not removed on back button issue) Selecting an author from the authors dropdown successfully loads their issues, but pressing browser back then does not return me to the full list:
Expected: the complete list of closed issues is displayed
Unlike the blank issues list issue and the active instead of closed issue:
I'm hoping some part of the info above will be helpful for tracking down the issues - please let me know if there's any other info that might be helpful Thanks for looking into this! EDIT to add: On a positive note, the overall experience is quite nice, even with the occasional hiccups around browser back/forwards - thanks for the hard work! |

I don't like that overall UI has less contrast than before. I'm really used to that contrast and now for me everything is a little bit too light or invisible. |

While the new UI aligns with the edits identification in the GitHub discussions UI here, I think it is better in both places to make the comment/thread better identifiable that it was edited. |

Having the avatar outside of the comment "bubble" made it much easier to find related messages by the same user. Also, since the avatar was outside of the comment bubble, it was on the same relative position to the "add comment" section, which made it look more integrated to the rest of the page. |

Omg, this is so much a long-awaited feature for me. I maintain an open-source (actually, fair source) project and I have multiple repositories for different services (server & agent software). I am used to creating all tickets on the primary repo (server) and then, if there is work to be done for an agent, I create an issue in the agent's repo with a single line: "Relates to ####". Now I can create sub-issues for another repo in my "epics" and better see the actual progress! |

With the "classic" interface, in the issues index page, when sorting issues by last updated you'd see both the time when the issue was opened and last updated. With the new interface you see only the time when the issue was last updated. I'd prefer to retain the information of when the issue was first reported. |

Would be great if sub-issues had a checkbox for whether to show them in the main list or not. I like the idea of subdividing larger issues but I feel like I'm forced into repeating the title of the parent issue because it only makes sense in that context, at which point it's just polluting the main issues list. |

Having to wait for all issues to load before you can switch between open and closed tabs is so annoying, I get that this is probably a very minor nitpick but it'd be nice if the delay wasn't there at all. |

On /issues, I dislike that currently both the comments and assigned person always show up, even if there are no comments and no one is assigned. It feels like it just clutters the screen, and especially for comments it makes it more difficult to find the issues/PRs that actually have comments on them |

We are working on a change for this |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
Came here to also comment on the 0 comment counters. To add some thoughts that might help with why this feels like a bad change: it is very difficult to scan the list of issues and determine which ones have active discussions or not. On the old version, when there was no comments there was no icon so it was immediately obvious that there were no comments (if you knew that there was no icon). Now they are all visually similar. An alternative might be to recolour the icons/text when there are no comments to a more washed out colour (that is to say closer to the background colour). This way they are visually distinct even though they are both now shown. |

I’m having similar issues. I’m looking at an issue (an “epic”), trying to add a sub-issue using “Add existing issue”. The issue I want to add is titled “Record a project:view:embedded event from analytics script”. The issue search seems to fail if my query has a partial word or if it has a colon. “project:view:embedded” was the first thing I searched for and it led me to believe there were no issues with that in the title.

I would indeed find the ability to save custom views very useful (e.g. if I can save something like issue status "is open" + labels "A-test-infra" + "T-compiler", that would be great). That is orthogonal from the UI design here, however, which is that:

Hi 👋, I'm the new Senior Product Manager at GitHub working on Issues. It's my second week here so please bear with me. Last week, we introduced a new left sidebar with quick issue filters in the Public Preview of the New issues experience. While some of you found it helpful, we also received feedback that it didn't work well for everyone. Based on your input, we've decided to remove the sidebar for now as we work on designing a better solution. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and stay tuned for future updates! Please keep the feedback coming as it's instrumental in making the New issues experience better for you all 🙌🏻 |

@labudis as you said you'd like to know about my favorite filter sets, I'll share it here in a separate thread. Note that this is specifically for issue triaging on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues (abbreviated "r-l/r") and is not necessarily applicable for other repos. Some context for r-l/r (overly simplified):
Some example filter sets:
Note that r-l/r has an quite extensive system of labels as well as multiple contributors who triage issues regularly, which significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio of custom views IMO. Other repos that do not have extensive label sets and contributors who regularly triage issues probably are unlikely to find custom views as useful. Our PRs have some labels which are somewhat different. I did not mention them here as that seems like a distinct product area. Hope that helps! |

We're still using the legacy issue template workflow because we want only a single template with some pre-defined content in the description. We don't want users to have to select a template. We noticed that the issue template no longer works after opting into the public beta.

Feedback wanted
Thank you for participating in the issues public preview for sub-issues, issue types and advanced search.
This new functionality is built on top of a UI rewrite of issues, which we would love your feedback on!
The aim of this rewrite was to clear up technical debt, allowing us to move faster in bringing new functionality to issues. With this in mind our goal has been parity with the existing experience. It should feel very familiar with only a few minor cosmetic tweaks.
The experiences that have been included so far in these updates are:
The milestones, labels and /issues dashboard pages have not yet been migrated.
