Why did you add such a stupid and useless feature?

[Thomas C_ Maresh]

Due to a recent change, if I click on a ticket in Table View, it appears in a pop-out window rather than opening in full-page view, as it did previously.  

Why?  This is useless.  This little narrow pop-out window is too narrow to properly display the information in the ticket.  I can't widen the ticket enough to do so.  

To display the information properly, I must close the pop-out and then click on the link with the middle-mouse button, or right-click on the link and select "Open in new tab".  This requires two clicks to view the ticket instead of one.  Actually 4, because when I look at the list, I expect to open the ticket by clicking on the link.  So I do that, see the pop-up, get disgusted, close it, and the re-open the ticket with the two-click method.  The change has slowed down my productivity and trashed my mood.

I should at least be able to choose in Account Settings what a single-click on the link does.

Hello @Thomas C_ Maresh 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Be advised that this is a user community, and not the best path to get your feedback directly to Atlassian. There is a Feedback option in Jira under the Help menu, and that will send your feedback directly to Atlassian.

From an answer from @Darryl Lee on another similar post I found a link to information about this change in the Release Notes link at the top of these Community pages.

• Preview work items with resizable panels 

That includes Atlassian's perspective on the benefits of the change.

Darryl also provided a link to the community announcement:

• Preview Panels will soon replace the detail view in Jira’s Global Search and List views
