Here's a simple patch that adds a new Parent issue subject query column to issue queries. This would give users an easy way to add the parent subject to queries.

It is a nice improvement. Here is a screenshot of this patch.

I think it will be even better to style the td.parent-subject with "{white-space: normal;}" to prevent long subjects to break the appearance.

Jens, could you attach the test code if you already have it?

I created a test. Attach a patch.

Certainly long strings break the layout of the issue list.

LGTM. Setting the target version to 4.1.0.

Committed the patches. Thank you all for improving Redmine.
