Description

Enhance login / sign on action so that after logging in the user is returned to the page displayed at the time of selecting the sign on action instead of redirected to their home page. Alternatively, provide this facility as a user configurable option.

I agree that redirecting to the previous page (if any) would be more convenient.
What do think others ?

Seeing how I had to login, hit the back button twice, and reload the page, I'd say

+1. I use the restful_authentication plugin on my Rails applications all the time and it includes this feature be default. Having Redmine not have it is a small annoyance. restful_authentication does this by setting session[:return_to] = request.request_uri when the user needs authentication. Then once authentication, it will check the session and redirect to the :return_to uri.

+1 This would be a nice feature for public Redmine projects. Sometimes you don't realize you aren't logged in until you want to comment on an issue.

Possible regression.

I note today that when I logged in to Redmin.org that I was redirected to my home page rather than back to the page I was viewing when I decided to log in.
