Currently, the issue editing form will not display the description of the task as it first appears and requires the user to click on a link to display the description and start editing it.

This is a big usability problem and no other, modern, notable task/issue manager implements it this way.

I have been working with Redmine for many years in multiple settings (at different companies) and I can safely say that it unnecessarily slows down issue editing in a very big percentage of cases.

Request: Display the description editor field immediately when the editing of the issue starts, together with all of the other editing fields.
