In the web UI when checking the "Tasks" page then there is no information about the total number of tasks in progress. All I see is "Tasks 1 through 50 >>>", which almost looks as there are only 50 tasks in total. There isn't even the combobox to select the page on the first page (top/bottom right corner). I believe this is a regression compared to some previous koji release where the total number was shown on the page.
This is a deliberate change in 1.25. Totals are no longer shown in the first page of the tasks list. This is for performance reasons.
See #2482 for background

I understand the reasons for the change, but still find it pretty confusing that I should try to see if there are more tasks using the ">>>" link. There is no other element to show the user the list on the first page isn't whole list. Can't you add the "page number" combobox containing "1" and "2" if you know there is more than 50 entries? I mean I could live without the total number, but there should be some clear indication that more than 50 results (one page) are available. IMO it's easy to miss the meaning of ">>>" if there is no indication of the multi-page result list.

Ok, let's discuss final decision how we can fix it. I have two ideas:
or do you have any other ideas?
When we will have some decision, I'll create a PR with fix.
I would go with option 1, could you add the "page" combobox too?
@sharkcz no, we don't want to add "page" combobox. This is why we did changes in the last release.
I mean an "empty" combobox, just having entries 1 + 2 if there are more than 50 results. IMO It does express visually one should expect more results than the single page.
@sharkcz hm, yes, we can do it 1 + 'load more' :)
so PR 2937
