[Proposal] Link to Unresolved Thread on Merge Request Overview page should bring user to line of code in question

Problem to solve

The link to Unresolved Thread on Merge Request Overview page should bring the user to the line of code in question

CleanShot_20211230140019

Proposal

Currently, clicking on a link to an Unresolved Thread - i.e., file path - on the Merge Request Overview page does not bring the user to the file or comment in question.

Instead, the diff (or "Changes" tab) view presents files in a specific order and the user must scroll down the page to find the file, comment and line of code.

This is a particularly poor user experience where the change on the feature branch comprises of many files.

Intended users

• Delaney (Development Team Lead)
• Sasha (Software Developer)
• Devon (DevOps Engineer)
• Simone (Software Engineer in Test)

Proposal

When redirecting the user to the "Changes" tab or diff view, auto-scroll down the page to the comment or thread in question.
