Redmine

First of all, thanks for testing the patches from #3058.

No, I have to thank for getting access to such nice improvements. ;-)

Regarding this subject, I've 2 ideas in mind that I've already implemented in our environment and I can easily extract them as patches for the core:
1. Expand/collapse on each section from the issue page (Issue attributes, Description, Full width fields, Subtasks, Relations, History). In addition, we can add a remember state in order to have some sections collapsed by default.

This is also a good idea. Most of the time I'm interested in one particular detail of an issue and it would be very convenient if Redmine could just show me the options and I could choose what looks tasty to me. Just like like the menu in a restaurant only shows me the meals without listing all ingredients and recipes. It would also be great if the users could select their preferred view (collapsed/expanded) in their account settings and a way to collapse/expand all groups (like in the issues table) would be the icing on the cake. :-D

However if you could extract a patch for this it would be a pleasure for me to try it out and give feedback on it.

A print screen with this feature where we can observe that the description and subtasks sections are collapsed.

2. A sticky subject bar (Gravatar, Issue subject, Parent task, Added by, Updated and Next/Previous) in order to know on which issue you are wherever are you on the page.

This makes sense, too. I've tested this by splitting the issue in two divs for the issues "header" and "body" and making the body scrollable. This also had the advantage that only the issues content moved down and the links in the sidebar stayed accessible.

For now I've added two proposals in #29034, please take a look and let me know what do you think.
