Description David Reyna 2014-03-08 04:03:44 UTC 
In the "task details" page, the link for the task order will not take you to the respective task if the anchor is not in the default first page.

Proposed solution is to add a test that looks for the anchor when requested in the URL after the pagination, and refetch the next page(s) until we find it. This is expensive if it ends up on a later page, but it is a special request and it is important for the customer experience to not fail.

The interesting aspect is that the "#" anchor is held by the browser and is not passed to the server.

That means that for the view class to find and return the right page for the anchor, the anchor must also be in the base part of the URL, for example:

  http://147.11.216.151:8000/gui/build/18/tasks/123/#123
