Bug Description

A bug report with multiple context, such as:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/629622
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/629622

will show a list of tags at the bottom. However following a tag whilst viewing under the wrong context will give the user useless results, despite the tag link being offered as populated. Thus of the two choices:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=uff-10.10-todo
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bugs?field.tag=uff-10.10-todo

only the latter returns a useful search result. Ideally if a tag exists only in one context if should be pointed to the correct populated results list automatically.

Yeah, there is a nasty user experience around this. I would actually prefer tags be listed context-specific, rather than redirecting. But we can leave it the person working on the bug to iron out the correct solution.

Thanks for the bug report!
