Description Ben Johnson CLA 2015-11-16 10:28:29 EST 
Why do I not see my own reports (those I've filed) when logged into https://bugs.eclipse.org and visiting the "My Requests" view (accessed from the primary navigation)?

I'm logged-in right this very moment and if I click on that link, the form returns "No requests."

This behavior contradicts the first paragraph on that page:

"When you are logged in, only requests made by you or addressed to you are shown by default. You can change the criteria using the form below. When you are logged out, all pending requests that are not restricted to some group are shown by default."

I find neither statement to be true. "Requests made by me" are not shown when I'm logged-in. And if I log-out, "all pending requests that are not restricted to some group" are not shown, either.

In the latter case, it appears as though I must submit the empty form (i.e., click the "Filter" button without changing any of the inputs) and I see the endless list of issues.

But no matter what I do, I cannot retrieve a list of my own reports. If I enter my own email address (the very same email address with which I log into this site) into both "Requester" and "Requestee" fields, and select "Match the requester OR requestee", the search yields "No requests."

Is someone able to explain this behavior? What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

"My requests" is an unfortunate misnomer for flags.  The bugs that you have filed are on the second line, link called "My Bugs".

I'm watching this bug at Bugzilla to track the issue:

Wow, that *is* incredibly unfortunate.

Equally unfortunate is that the "My Bugs" link appears only in the page footer.

How difficult is this to fix? I hate to sound indignant, but I feel like I am wasting increasingly more time struggling with shoddiness and a lack of overall quality in the Eclipse product suite and associated websites as of late.

In any event, thank you for clarifying that I must click the last link on the page to perform what is most likely the most commonly-performed action on this entire site.
