suv, you've been correcting my edits in the tag list with "~suv (nitpicking): still in use" but the fact is that if I go to this bug [1], where the tag 'style' is in use and I click on the tag I get an empty page with zero bugs [2]. What should I do? Using advance search finds bugs with that tag but going to [2] directly won't list anything.
The search interface of Launchpad doesn't make it easy for projects the size of Inkscape to manage the reported bugs imho.
Many recent and incoming reports are still based on Inkscape 0.46 (the current stable release), but all bugs with fixes committed to SVN/trunk have been marked 'Fix released' or sometimes 'Invalid' and thus don't appear in standard search results.
That's why I always start with the advanced search page with all 'status' and 'importance' fields checked and 'Hide duplicates' off when searching for related or duplicate reports. In this case I'm glad to restrict the search by relying on known tags ;-)
We need to decide whether we 'touch' reports marked 'Fix released' or 'Invalid' (there are others that also don't appear in the default search results but I haven't systematically tested which ones) when updating the tags or whether we just let the old tags in this partly hidden state and concentrate on the more recent ones. From my POV it makes sense to search _all_ reports when triaging bugs - that's why I added my 'nitpicking' comment. But I don't insist ;-)
