If a project has closed subprojects, the overview page will show the total issues and spent time of all subprojects including the closed ones. However, if I try to view issues, gantt or spent time, I will not see any of the tasks from the closed subprojects. (See screenshots)

In our company, we use Redmine for many small projects that are closed when completed. They become a subproject of a project named "Closed" for sorting reasons. At the end of the year, I must summarize my departments hours for reporting reasons. Right now, I cannot get any spent time reports unless I go into each subproject and generate a report, or reopen each subproject to generate a total report.

I am sure some users do not want to see closed subproject tasks. I am also sure others, like me, would like to see tasks from multiple closed subproject. Right now, Redmine's not working correctly, either way. Maybe introducing a checkbox on the right sidebar to include tasks from closed subprojects would be the best solution.

In the meantime, if anyone can create a simple patch, or give me a hint where in the source code to dabble with, much appreciated!

Environment:

  Redmine version                3.1.1.stable
  Ruby version                   2.0.0-p645 (2015-04-13) [i386-mingw32]
  Rails version                  4.2.4
  Environment                    production
  Database adapter               Mysql2

All plugins were removed for testing.
