The fields must be cleaned out by hand when changing namespaces... yuck.

Broken since r39712. The "from" and "to" form fields are filled in to match the values from the current query, meaning that you can't change the namespace without deleting the prefilled values from those boxes. I'll try assigning it to Aaron.

Fixed in r51302

All I know here up to r51324 is when the user changes

Display pages starting at: XX
Display pages ending at: YY
Namespace: Main

to e.g.,

Display pages starting at: XX
Display pages ending at: YY
Namespace: Mediawiki

I think you need to clear the fields so he is now looking at

Display pages starting at:
Display pages ending at:
Namespace: Mediawiki

before he hits "Go", or else he must remember to clear them out by hand.
I suppose you will need JavaScript to do that...

You can use the "all pages" link in the upper right corner...though a "reset" button is much prettier

Leaving bug open until all issues are ironed out.

OK, the issue fixed in r51302 was the automatic changing of the to/from fields.

As for a reset button, JS solutions tend to be frowned upon, so maybe a "clear" link or link "button" is best.

Any such button is separate enhancement request.
